V&R Unipress Ehe Imperial
Book SynopsisEheschließung, Scheidung, Zugang zu Vermögen während und nach der Ehe: All dies war über die Jahrhunderte durch kirchliche und zivile Ordnungen strukturiert. Das Recht nahm damit sehr direkt Einfluss auf die persönliche Lebenspraxis. Obwohl das 19. Jahrhundert von zunehmender Rechtsvereinheitlichung gekennzeichnet war, bestanden vor allem in größeren territorialen Zusammenhängen partikulare Rechte weiter fort. Dies konnte Handlungsoptionen eröffnen in zahlreichen Fällen führte jedoch nur ein Wechsel in einen anderen Rechtsraum zum erwünschten Ziel, zum Beispiel einer Scheidung oder einer Wiederverheiratung. Differente Zugehörigkeiten konnten umgekehrt heiratswillige Paare vor große Herausforderungen stellen. An den Schnittstellen zwischen verschiedenen Rechtslogiken fragen die Beiträge nach Handlungsräumen von Männern und Frauen und nach den damit verbundenen Geschlechternormen.Aus dem Inhalt: Familienrecht(e) in der Habsburgermonarchie als Herausforderung des Empire / State, Church and Divorce from the Ottoman Empire to the Early Modern Greek State / French Basque Women's Adaptation to Legal Systems across Spaces, Times and Places / Eine Rechts- und Gesellschaftsgeschichte deutsch-russischer Eheschließungen von 18751926 / Schariagerichtsakten aus dem habsburgischen Bosnien-Herzegowina (18781918) / Verwandtschaftshandeln in einer ökonomisch auseinanderdriftenden Gesellschaft: Eine Hochzeit in Benin. Marriage, divorce, access to property during and after marriage, all this was structured over the centuries by ecclesiastical and civil provisions. Law thus had a very direct influence on personal life. The nineteenth century in particular was characterized by increasing legal unification, but particular rights continued to exist in larger territorial contexts. This legal heterogeneity as well as migration between different jurisdictional spaces could open up new possibilities to act. Conversely, different affiliations in regard to confession or ethnicity could pose great challenges for couples willing to marry. The aim of this issue is to ask at the interfaces between different legal logics about the spheres of action of men and women and the associated gender norms.

Speaking Tiger Publishing Private Limited Intimacy Undone Marriage, Divorce and Family Law

Intimacy Undone examines the institution of marriage in India, from its historical roots to its evolution towards the moral, social and legal position it holds today.

The American University in Cairo Press Khul' Divorce in Egypt: Public Debates, Judicial
Book SynopsisAt the beginning of the twenty-first century, Egyptian women gained the unique right to divorce their husbands unilaterally through a procedure called khul'. This has been a controversial application; notwithstanding attempts to present the law as being grounded in Islamic law, opponents claim that khul' is a privileged women's law, and a western conspiracy aimed at destroying Egyptian family life and, by extension, Egyptian society. In Khul' Divorce in Egypt, Nadia Sonneveld explores the nature of the public debates--including the portrayal of khul' in films and cartoons--while an examination of the application of khul' in the courts and everyday life relates and compares this debate to the actual implementation of the procedure. She makes it clear that the points of controversy bear little resemblance to the lives of the lower-middle-class women who apply for khul'; they merely reflect profound changes in the institutions of marriage and family.

The American University in Cairo Press Law as a Tool for Empowering Women within Marital
Book SynopsisHow do women use courts within the context of paternity lawsuits? This study analyzes the challenges that the formal legal approach to empowering women faces once it is translated into everyday socio-legal experiences and court repertoires. It also seeks to trace the pathologies inherent in personal status law reform and normal legal practices in Egypt, attesting to the limitations of law as an agent of social change in the private domain of the family. It mainly sheds light on the difficulties of separating formal legal rules from informal social practices. It also explores the problem of paternity claims in Egypt. Adding to growing literature on the use of legal mobilization to advance gender equity, this study offers insights on the often-neglected role of social norms in court experiences, often leading to unexpected consequences that sometimes defy the intended goals behind policies and legislation.
