Islamic marriage and divorce laws of the Arab world

by Dawoud Sudqi El Alami

This book will be of prime interest to academics, researchers and students of Islamic law, legal practitioners and agencies involved in legal issues relating to the marriage and divorce of citizens of the Arab countries, and individuals seeking to ascertain their own legal position. Whilst other works exist which examine the Islamic law of personal status, this is the first to set out in a single volume the laws relating to marriage and divorce in the Arab states, both codified and uncodified, in a manner which will enable the reader to look up the provisions of the law in specific areas and, where required, to compare the positions of the laws of different countries.
