It is a complex issue that has implications for matters of not only gender equality, but also religious freedom, minority rights, and state policy regarding the accommodation of difference. Whereas the Constitution of India guarantees equality rights to all women, irrespective of religious affiliation, Muslim personal law, argues Vrinda Narain, explicitly discriminates on the basis of an individual's sex and religion." "Narain provides an analysis of the historical development and contemporary expression of Muslim personal law within a constitutional framework and examines the assertion that women's rights are a divisive force preventing the evolution of larger collective rights. She contends that an interrogation of the dominant religious ideology is necessary to prevent legislation from binding Muslim women to an essentialist notion of identity that denies them the possibility of challenging Muslim tradition. Combining feminist analysis and post-colonial and critical race theory with legal analysis, Gender and Community critically assesses issues of gender equality and minority rights within the larger social fabric. It offers a fresh look at the conceptualization of women as the markers of cultural community in Muslim India and advocates a perspective that seeks to unite the recognition of women's rights with respect for group integrity. These issues are significant not only for Muslim women in India, but also in the broader context of the accommodation of cultural diversity in pluralist democracies."--Jacket. 606 $aMuslim women$xLegal status, laws, etc$zIndia 606 $aWomen's rights$zIndia 606 $aIslamic law$zIndia 607 $aIndien$2swd 607 $aIndien$2gnd 607 $aIndia$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMuslim women$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aWomen's rights 615 0$aIslamic law 676 $a346.540134 700 $aNarain$b Vrinda$f1965-$01622732 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819239503321 996 $aGender and community$93956753 997 $aUNINA
