DESCRIPTION
The present publication attempts in a modest way to throw light on the several aspects of traditional Islamic views on matters pertaining to such vital aspects of women's life as divorce, custody of children, support and maintenance after divorce, and the laws on property and inheritance. The book also highlights some relevant aspects of the role and status of women in the rural communities and marginalised groups in Bangladesh and Pakistan. The work would be of particular interest to students and researchers in the sociology of minority communities, as well as academicians, theologians and religious personages wishing to revisit and review the salient features of Islamic tradition and women.
