Country-specific declarations and reservations to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).About one-third of the world's population currently lives under pluri-legal systems where governments hold individuals subject to the purview of ethno-religious rather than national norms in respect to family law. How does the state-enforcement of these religious family laws impact fundamental rights and liberties? What resistance strategies do people employ in order to overcome the disabilities and limitations these religious laws impose upon their rights? Based on archival research, court observations and interviews with individuals from three countries, Yüksel Sezgin shows that governments have often intervened in order to impress a particular image of subjectivity upon a society, while people have constantly challenged the interpretive monopoly of courts and state-sanctioned religious institutions, re-negotiated their rights and duties under the law, and changed the system from within. He also identifies key lessons and best practices for the integration of universal human rights principles into religious legal systems.Cambridge studies in law and society.Human Rights under State-Enforced Religious Family Laws in Israel, Egypt & IndiaHuman rightsIsraelHuman rightsEgyptHuman rightsIndiaDomestic relationsIndiaDomestic relationsIsraelDomestic relationsEgyptReligion and lawIndiaReligion and lawIsraelReligion and lawEgyptHuman rightsHuman rightsHuman rightsDomestic relationsDomestic relationsDomestic relationsReligion and lawReligion and lawReligion and law342.08/5Sezgin Yüksel1974-1051559UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910463268803321Human rights under state-enforced religious family laws in Israel, Egypt, and India2482151UNINA
