Country-specific declarations and reservations to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). 330 $aAbout one-third of the world's population currently lives under pluri-legal systems where governments hold individuals subject to the purview of ethno-religious rather than national norms in respect to family law. How does the state-enforcement of these religious family laws impact fundamental rights and liberties? What resistance strategies do people employ in order to overcome the disabilities and limitations these religious laws impose upon their rights? Based on archival research, court observations and interviews with individuals from three countries, Yu?ksel Sezgin shows that governments have often intervened in order to impress a particular image of subjectivity upon a society, while people have constantly challenged the interpretive monopoly of courts and state-sanctioned religious institutions, re-negotiated their rights and duties under the law, and changed the system from within. He also identifies key lessons and best practices for the integration of universal human rights principles into religious legal systems. 410 0$aCambridge studies in law and society. 517 3 $aHuman Rights under State-Enforced Religious Family Laws in Israel, Egypt & India 606 $aHuman rights$zIsrael 606 $aHuman rights$zEgypt 606 $aHuman rights$zIndia 606 $aDomestic relations$zIndia 606 $aDomestic relations$zIsrael 606 $aDomestic relations$zEgypt 606 $aReligion and law$zIndia 606 $aReligion and law$zIsrael 606 $aReligion and law$zEgypt 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aDomestic relations 615 0$aDomestic relations 615 0$aDomestic relations 615 0$aReligion and law 615 0$aReligion and law 615 0$aReligion and law 676 $a342.08/5 700 $aSezgin$b Yu?ksel$f1974-$01516869 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787552803321 996 $aHuman rights under state-enforced religious family laws in Israel, Egypt, and India$93753589 997 $aUNINA
