| Abstract: | This book provides insight into the interaction of law, society and change in Islam. Examined are four major areas: the nature, origins and development of Islamic law; the traditional role and status of women and the family in Islam as embodied in classical family law; the changing status of women as reflected in the process of Muslim family law reform, particularly in Egypt and Pakistan; and the dynamic resources which the Islamic tradition provides for Islamic reform, that is, the means by which a tradition may respond to the continued and changing needs of society. |
