Description:How Islam treats women is one of the most hotly contested questions of our times. Islamic law is often misrepresented as a single monolithic concept, rather than a collection of different interpretations and practices.

In this groundbreaking work, Chris Jones-Pauly explores what conditions sustain the most liberal interpretation of Islamic law on gender issues. She examines the different interpretations, histories and practices of Islamic law in different countries. She finds that the political independence of judicial institutions is a far more important factor than the relative conservatism of the society.
