The case studies from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand portray the important and exciting, yet very difficult, negotiation of Islamic teachings in the changing realities of Southeast Asia, home to the majority of Muslims in the world. Interreligious marriage is an important indicator of good relations between communities in religiously diverse countries. This book will also be of great interest to students and scholars of religious pluralism in a Southeast Asian context, which has not been studied adequately." -Zainal Abidin Bagir, Executive Director, Center for Religious and Cross-cultural Studies (CRCS), Gadjah Mada University, IndonesiaInterfaith marriageSoutheast AsiaMarriage lawSoutheast AsiaMarriageReligious aspectsIslamInterfaith marriageMarriage lawMarriageReligious aspectsIslam.306.8430959Jones Gavin W.Chee Heng LengMaznah MohamadInstitute of Southeast Asian StudiesMiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910345111003321Muslim-Non-Muslim Marriage2564769UNINA
