Justice and Beauty in Muslim Marriage by Ziba Mir-Hosseini
Many contemporary Muslim family laws rest on patriarchal concepts. The time for change is now.‘This exciting collection of essays by an impressive array of experts takes Musawah’s mission from the critique of injustice and patriarchy in Muslim marriages and family laws to the building of a vision that yearns and works for divinely inspired justice and beauty in Muslim families and communitiesThe book is bold, radical, and groundbreaking. It will be an indispensable tool for Muslim activists the world over.’
-- Juliane Hammer, Associate Professor, Department of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill‘Justice and Beauty in Muslim Marriage addresses the ethical emptiness and lack of poetic sensibility in the patriarchal discourse on women’s rights… The findings of the book, that Muslim marriage laws and normativity are not in line with contemporary understandings of justice, promise a hermeneutic shift towards egalitarian legislation and pluralist normativity.’
-- Muhammad Khalid Masud, former Chairman, Council of Islamic Ideology, Pakistan, and former Academic Director, International Institute for the Study of Islam in the Modern World, Leiden University‘Teeming with provocative and restorative ideas, this book reframes the practice of marriage as it is lived in all its complexities. Drawing on tradition and experience, marriage now becomes a wholesome way of self-fulfillment as expressed by these courageous authors. It is a very timely intervention and much needed. A must-read.’
