| Description | Book Name: Women's Rights and Religious Law |
| Abstract | This chapter focuses on marital relations due to the central role of marriage in defining and structuring the parameters of family life. It describes how a renewed emphasis on classical frameworks of religious law, rather than an abandonment or disparagement of them, prove effective in catalyzing family law reforms. In Islamic law, there are no general prohibitions on women's compensated work, so long as it meets basic conditions for safety, and does not interfere with other religious obligations. To a profound extent, colonizing processes disrupted institutional life in many Muslim majority societies. Colonizing processes not only weakened the educational systems that produced learned scholars and jurists, but colonial systems supplanted many of the institutions of law and social order within which traditionally trained religious jurist consultants could conduct legal and bureaucratic affairs. Supporting and encouraging the framing of gender issues according to maqasid al-sharii a methodology could prove to be a pragmatic and effective approach for transnational feminist activists.This chapter focuses on marital relations due to the central role of marriage in defining and structuring the parameters of family life.
