Opis

The position of women in society is an indicator reflecting the peculiarities of the socio-political structure of the state. Interest in the study of the position of women in traditional Kazakh society is not weakening. This is evidenced by the numerous studies of scientists, in which, based on the analysis of various sources on the culture and traditions of the Kazakh people, new facets of social reality about the legal position of women, their social status in the parental home and outside the family are revealed. The social status of women in Kazakhstan has been influenced by many factors, including local traditions and customs, decades of Soviet rule, rapid social and economic change and instability after independence, and new Western values. The book examines the role of Kazakh women in modern society, as well as the role of religion in the lives of Muslim women, and the ancient traditions and customs of the Kazakh people and their significance. The book will be of interest to researchers of Muslim culture, orientalists, Muslim theologians, as well as to all those interested in the study of Kazakh culture, family relations of Kazakhs and the role of women in Kazakh society.
