520 ^aHow Islam treats women is one of the most hotly contested questions of our times.& Islamic law is often misrepresented as a single monolithic concept, rather than a collection of different interpretations and practices.& To move the debate on Islamic law and gender forward, it is necessary to establish how Islamic law actually operates.& In this groundbreaking work, Chris Jones-Pauly explores what conditions sustain the most liberal interpretation of Islamic law on gender issues.& She examines the different interpretations, histories and practices of Islamic law in different countries.& She finds that the political independence of judicial institutions is a far more important factor than the relative conservativism of the society.& This wide-ranging book will provide new insights not only for those studying law and gender, but for anyone with an interest in Islamic societies.
