Who has the power to initiate and resist shari'a derived divorce? When are husbands and wives made to bear the costs of their marital breakdown? What does divorce law indicate about the development of gender regimes in the Middle East and North Africa? This book opens with a description of the historical development of Islamic divorce in the MENA. Subsequent chapters follow a Syrian male judge, a Moroccan female legal advice worker and a Libyan female judge as they deal with divorce cases in which husbands, wives, their relatives and lawyers debate gender roles in contemporary Muslim marriages. MENA 'state feminism' has increasingly equalized men's and women's access to divorce and encouraged discussions about how spouses should treat each other in marriage. The real life outcomes of these reforms have often been surprising. Moreover, as the last chapter explores, jihadi proto-states (such as Islamic State) have violently rejected state feminist divorce law reform. This accessible book will appeal to students, researchers and a general readership interested in Islamic law; Middle Eastern studies; gender and sexuality; and, legal and social anthropology. 410 0$aGender and Politics,$x2662-5822 606 $aIdentity politics 606 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government 606 $aReligion and politics 606 $aPolitics and Gender 606 $aMiddle Eastern Politics 606 $aPolitics and Religion 615 0$aIdentity politics. 615 0$aMiddle East$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aReligion and politics. 615 14$aPolitics and Gender. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern Politics. 615 24$aPolitics and Religion. 676 $a297.14 700 $aCarlisle$b Jessica$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01060748 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910338029203321 996 $aMuslim Divorce in the Middle East$92515506 997 $aUNINA
