Muslim Judges at the Road of Intersection
The work of Muslim judges in the shariʿa courts ranges from enforcing specific moral standards to redistributing wealth in accordance with Islamic inheritance norms. Judgments in cases involving divorce, alimony, and the custody of children are nonetheless part and parcel of the judges’ daily routine. This paper uses ethnographic work in Gaza–Palestine to explore whether, how, and why judges assert certain rules and norms on some occasions but ma…
House of Obedience
Based on 14 months of fieldwork, this paper examines the influence of social norms, individual agency, and historical contingency on the practice of House of Obedience (bayt al-ta‘a) in the shari‘a courts of the Gaza Strip. It argues that the text of Islamic family law is only one dimension in the administration of House of Obedience. Aspects concerning the wider sociopolitical context are crucial, notably the preeminence of the notion of family …
Flexibility versus Rigidity in the Practice of Islamic Family Law
The last decades have witnessed a sustained critique of the mainstream Orientalist notion that classical Islamic family law was rigid, inflexible, and homogeneous. Many historians have used innovative methods to demonstrate that jurists and judges in precodification times enjoyed the intellectual space to translate the principles of theand Sunna into socially workable rules. Yet, perhaps unwittingly, these authors have presented classical Islamic…
Between Change and Continuity
In Gaza, one finds both an impressive rate of early marriage and the highest rate of fertility in the world. 42 percent of women marry at 18 years or less whereas half the population is under 15. This phenomenon begs the following question: why is early marriage ever more frequent in Gaza but on the decline in the West Bank? This article proposes to develop an historical and sociological analysis of marriage trends in Gaza based on a diachronic e…
Les paradoxes du mariage précoce à Gaza
À Gaza, 42 % des femmes se marient avant 18 ans. Par ailleurs, cette province, où la moitié de la population a moins de 15 ans, affiche un taux de fertilité parmi les plus élevés au monde. La pratique toujours plus fréquente mais inexpliquée du mariage précoce peut apparaître comme une stratégie permettant d'échapper aux dures conditions de vie sous l'occupation et le soulèvement. Elle peut également être attribuée au fait que ce type de mariage …
