Book Description
In Minor Marriage in Early Islamic Law, Carolyn Baugh offers an in-depth exploration of 8th-13th century legal sources on the marriageability of prepubescents, focusing on such issues as maintenance, sexual readiness, consent, and a father’s right to compel. Modern efforts to resist establishment of a minimum marriage age in countries such as Saudi Arabia rest on claims of early juristic consensus that fathers may compel their prepubescent daughters to marry. This work investigates such claims by highlighting the extremely nuanced discussions and debates recorded in early legal texts. From the works of famed early luminaries to the “consensus writers” of later centuries, each chapter brings new insights into a complex and enduring debate.

Promoting Women’s Rights in Islamic Law in a Non-Muslim State – Israel
Author: Ahmad Natour
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1793640971
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
The dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, through the British mandate and the establishment of the state of Israel, created a reality in which no Muslim legislator existed in the country. Thus, the chief judge—Qadi al Qudat, due to the dire need for reforms in the Sharia' family law and in order to minimize the intervention of the non-Muslim—Israeli legislator in the divine family law, took it upon himself to initiate the reforms. As such, this experience is considered the world-wide pioneerand unique in its scope. The reforms were done in accordance with the Islamic rules of renewal and are derived from the Islamic jurisprudence—sharia' itself. This process was done in two tracks: first, decisions of the High Court of Appeals would be followed by the lower courts as binding precedents. Second, the president of the High Sharia' court issued judicial decrees guidelines to the lower courts, driven by the Maslaha - the public interest - in various matters of Islamic law such as promoting women status, children's rights and the preservation of Islamic sites and cemeteries sanctity.

Child Marriage in Nigeria: Human Rights and the Islamic Law Perspectives
Author: Ammar Badmus
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
This work is an attempt to deal with Child Marriage in the perspective of Human Rights Laws and Islamic Law with a view to laying bare the two positions and giving possible solution(s) to create a successful meeting point on the issue of Child Marriage which has triggered such controversies and debate in Nigeria and the world at large.The issue of Child Marriage is a highly charged, sensitive, controversial and emotional matter. This controversy surrounding Child Marriage in Nigeria became more prominent when the former Governor of Zamfara State married a 13year old Egyptian girl-child. Against the backdrop of this provocative marriage is the debate that was later generated on the floor of the Senate where the same Senator and some others reportedly argued for the recognition of Child Marriage. The methodology of this research will be based on historical, analytical and doctrinal approaches in gathering related data. Data so collected would be scrutinized and discussed in order to reach a logical conclusion. The work has examined the problem of child marriage in Nigeria as regards its position under the Human Rights laws and Islamic Law perspectives thereby shedding more light on the lacuna and contradictions apparent in the Human Right laws and the provisions of the Shariah on child marriage. A brief Constitutional position on the issue of child marriage is discussed in this work and the conclusion was made that there is a need for the government to take active responsibility in determining the age of a minor in relation to child marriage based on socio-religious lifestyle of Nigerians and the realities of womanhood. It is with sincere belief and hope that readers are benefited greatly with this research work and the fact that this work is assumed to be a pioneer academic research on this topic, it is expected that more work that look into other areas that have not been captured by this work would be written and published. The author would be gratified by such further works on this issues or related topics.Thank you for your attention and time.Ammar Olaide BadmusJan' 2020
