Muslim Families, Politics and the Law

A Legal Industry in Multicultural Britain

Islam generally and the Muslim family in particular have become highly politicized sites of contestation. This book focuses on the way in which gender relations and associated questions of (women’s) agency, consent and autonomy, have become the focus of political and social commentary, and the implications this has for British multiculturalism. The book also includes a detailed overview of the public debate about the application of Islamic legal and ethical norms (Shari’a) in family law matters, and the associated role of Shari’a councils, in a British context.

Islamic Law in Europe?

Legal Pluralism and its Limits in European Family Laws

Cultural and religious identity and family law are inter-related in a number of ways and raise various complex issues. European legal systems have taken various approaches to meeting these challenges. This book examines this complexity and indicates areas in which conflicts may arise by analysing examples from legislation and court decisions in Germany, Switzerland, France, England and Spain. It includes questions of private international law, comments on the various degrees of consideration accorded to cultural identity within substantive family law, and remarks on models of legal pluralism and the dangers that go along with them. It concludes with an evaluation of approaches which are process-based rather than institution-based. The book will be of interest to legal professionals, family law students and scholars concerned with legal pluralism.

Islamic and Comparative Religious Studies

Selected Writings

William A. Graham, a leading international scholar in the field of Islamic Studies, gathers together his selected writings in this volume under three sections: 1. History and Interpretation of Islamic Religion; 2. The Qur'an as Scripture, and 3. Scripture in the History of Religion. This invaluable resource will be of primary interest to students of the Islamic tradition, especially in regard to Qur'anic piety, Muslim ritual practice, and fundamental structures of Islamic thought. It will also be of interest to students of the comparative history of religion, especially as regards the phenomenon of scripture and its analogs.Graham's work in Islamic studies focuses largely on the analysis and interpretation of the religious dimensions of ritual action, scriptural piety, textual authority/revelation, tradition, and major concepts, such as grace and transcendence. His work in the comparative history of religion has focused in particular on the problem of scripture as a cross-cultural religious phenomenon that is more complex than simply sacred text. This invaluable resource will be of primary interest to students of the Islamic tradition, especially as regards Qur'anic piety, Muslim ritual practice, and fundamental structures of Islamic thought, and to students of the comparative history of religion, especially as regards the phenomenon of scripture and its analogs.
