In seventeenth and eighteenth century Syria and Palestine, Muslim legal thinkers gave considerable attention to women's roles in society, and Tucker shows how fatwas, or legal opinions, greatly influenced these roles. She challenges prevailing views on Islam and gender, revealing Islamic law to have been more fluid and flexible than previously thought. Although the legal system had a consistent patriarchal orientation, it was modulated by sensitivities to the practical needs of women, men, and children. In her comprehensive overview of a field long neglected by scholars, Tucker deepens our understanding of how societies, including our own, construct gender roles.Gender and Islamic law in Ottoman Syria and PalestineWomenLegal status, laws, etcSyriaHistoryWomenLegal status, laws, etcPalestineHistoryWomen (Islamic law)WomenSyriaSocial conditionsWomenPalestineSocial conditionsTurkeyHistoryOttoman Empire, 1288-1918WomenLegal status, laws, etc.History.WomenLegal status, laws, etc.History.Women (Islamic law)WomenSocial conditions.WomenSocial conditions.305.42/095691Tucker Judith E.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut510582DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996248279003316In the house of the law1296222UNISA
