Opis

Centered on legal discourses of Islam's first six centuries, this book analyzes juristic writings on the topic of rape.

Recenzje

'Hina Azam takes on contemporary practices of Islamic law that work against rape victims through a revisiting of late antique and medieval legal discourses. Her meticulous approach yields ample material for rethinking some of the more injurious aspects of current legal interpretations and sounds a compelling call for gender justice grounded in the Islamic legal tradition. An exemplary work of engaged scholarship.' Judith Tucker, Georgetown University, Washington DC
