商品描述
This book presents an in-depth exploration of the intricate negotiations of married Muslim women within Cape Town's Muslim communities, navigating the complexities of legal pluralism governed by Muslim Personal Law (MPL). Spanning historical epochs from colonialism to the democratic era, it argues that MPL's informal status perpetuates patriarchal norms, especially in the domain of marriage. It critically examines the consequences of the non-recognition of Muslim marriages within the civil legal framework and underscores the ambiguous intersections of MPL with broader legal systems, which leaves women in a precarious legal state overshadowed by religious doctrines.
Adopting a gender perspective and an interdisciplinary approach that combines political science, sociology, and the law, the book reveals the historical roots of legal pluralism, while also shedding light on the political strategies that have perpetuated gender-stratified citizenship. Despite all the democratic promises, legal pluralism persists, contributing to gender disparities, and the book critically examines the government's reluctance to address the marginalisation of Muslim women, especially through the lens of the proposed Muslim Marriages Bill (MMB).
This book is essential reading for scholars in the fields of law, sociology, and gender studies, offering critical insights into the intersections of legal systems, religion, and gender dynamics within Muslim communities in Cape Town.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書深入探討了開普敦穆斯林社區中已婚穆斯林婦女的複雜談判,並在穆斯林個人法(MPL)所統治的法律多元體系中航行。從殖民時代到民主時代的歷史時期,本書認為MPL的非正式地位使父權主義規範得以延續,尤其在婚姻領域。它批判性地檢視了在民事法律框架中不承認穆斯林婚姻的後果,並強調MPL與更廣泛的法律體系之間模糊的交叉點,這使得婦女處於一個由宗教教義掩蓋的不穩定法律狀態中。
本書採用性別透視和跨學科方法,結合政治學、社會學和法律,揭示了法律多元體系的歷史根源,同時也闡明了延續性別分層公民身份的政治策略。儘管有所有的民主承諾,法律多元體系仍然存在,造成性別差異,本書批判性地檢視了政府對解決穆斯林婦女邊緣化問題的不願意,特別是通過提出的穆斯林婚姻法案(MMB)的角度。
這本書對於法律、社會學和性別研究領域的學者來說是必讀之作,提供了對開普敦穆斯林社區中法律體系、宗教和性別動態的關聯性的批判性洞察。
