In Islam, as in other religious traditions, the idea of equality between men and women was neither central to notions of justice nor part of the juristic landscape, and Muslim jurists did not begin to address it until the twentieth century.  The personal status of Muslim men, women and children continues to be defined by understandings of Islamic law codified and adapted by modern nation-states that assume authority to be the natural prerogative of men, that disadvantage women and that are prone to abuse. This volume argues that effective and sustainable reform of these laws and practices requires engagement with their religious rationales from within the tradition.  Gender and Equality in Muslim Family Law offers a groundbreaking analysis of family law, based on fieldwork in family courts, and illuminated by insights from distinguished clerics and scholars of Islam from Morocco, Egypt, Iran, Pakistan and Indonesia, as well as by the experience of human rights and women s rights activists. It explores how male authority is sustained through law and court practice in different contexts, the consequences for women and the family, and the demands made by Muslim women s groups. The book argues for women's full equality before the law by re-examining the jurisprudential and theological arguments for male guardianship (qiwama, wilaya) in Islamic legal tradition. Using contemporary examples from various contexts, from Morocco to Malaysia, this volume presents an informative and vital analysis of these societies and gender relations within them. It unpicks the complex and often contradictory attitudes towards Muslim family law, and the ways in which justice and ethics are conceived in the Islamic tradition. The book offers a new framework for rethinking old formulations so as to reflect contemporary realities and understandings of justice, ethics and gender rights. \"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book accomplishes its goal by exploring the political and hermeneutical challenges that  hinder  gender  equality  from  being  fully  realized  by  scrutinizing  Islamic  texts  and  jurists’  opinions. * Journal of the Contemporary Study of Islam *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Muslim Family Law and the Question of Equality.

The authors of this volume investigate the real-world developments that can be observed in this process, how established legal doctrines are being challenged, the regulatory issues societies face as a result, and how AI can be used in lawmaking and adjudication. By analyzing these four interrelated areas, the authors discuss conceptual issues of regulating AI, examine the impact of new technologies on commercial transactions and corporate governance, investigate civil liability rules for AI applications and explore key features and problems of digital dispute resolution. A recurring theme is that although \"Law by Algorithm\" might massively increase overall societal welfare, it runs the significant risk of benefitting only a few. To make it work for the good of all is a mammoth task - and one this volume hopes to contribute to. \t \t\"AI's capabilities have made enormous recent leaps; many expect it to transform how the economy operates. In particular, activities relying on human knowledge to create value, insulated until now from mechanisation, are facing dramatic change.

Ihre Untersuchung trägt in dreierlei Hinsicht zu einem neuen Verständnis bei: erstens, indem sie die Testierfreiheit als zivilrechtliches Prinzip vor einer zu stark verfassungsrechtlich geprägten Anschauung in Schutz nimmt. Die Gestaltungsbefugnis von Todes wegen wird in der verfassungsgerichtlichen Rechtsprechung als Verfügungsbefugnis über den Tod hinaus beschrieben. Damit erscheint sie als Fortsetzung des Rechts der Lebenden mit anderen rechtsgeschäftlichen Mitteln und wird zudem mit der Vorstellung eines \"Leistungseigentums\" verknüpft. Es zeigt sich des Weiteren, dass an die Gestaltungsbefugnis von Todes wegen Strukturmerkmale heran getragen werden, die aus dem Recht der Lebenden stammen, im Erbrecht aber Fremdkörper sind. Das gilt zum einen für den erbrechtlichen Typenzwang, der in Anlehnung an den sachenrechtlichen konzipiert wird. Es gilt aber vor allem für die Anleihen, die beim lebzeitigen Vertragsparadigma gemacht werden und die diachrone Struktur des erbrechtlichen Rechtsgeschäfts außer Acht lassen.Drittens ist es der Autorin um ein genuin rechtsgeschäftliches Verständnis der Testierfreiheit zu tun. Das klingt selbstverständlich, ist es aber nicht. So behaupten familienerbrechtliche Deutungen der Gestaltungsbefugnis von Todes wegen einen Leitbildcharakter der gesetzlichen für die rechtsgeschäftliche Erbfolge. Ihre Interpretation als besonderes Persönlichkeitsrecht des Erblassers zur Todesverarbeitung verengt schließlich den privatrechtlichen Freiheitsraum von Todes wegen inhaltlich auf eine Reflexion über Mortalität.","brand":"JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48889062490455,"sku":"9783161491900","price":110.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783161491900.jpg?v=1722552506"},{"product_id":"zivilprozessuale-gruppenvergleichsverfahren-einvernehmliche-streitbeilegung-im-kollektiven-rechtsschutz-9783161559358","title":"Zivilprozessuale Gruppenvergleichsverfahren:","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn der europaweit geführten Diskussion über Verfahren des kollektiven Rechtsschutzes rücken anstelle der Sammelklagen zunehmend Instrumente der einvernehmlichen Streitbeilegung in den Mittelpunkt.

Auf Basis der Länderberichte diskutiert er mit Blick auf einen schweizerischen Gesetzesentwurf einige Kernprobleme dieses relativ neuartigen Verfahrensansatzes.","brand":"JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48889085722967,"sku":"9783161559358","price":73.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783161559358.jpg?v=1722552624"},{"product_id":"animals-as-specific-objects-of-obligations-under-polish-and-german-law-9783847110446","title":"Animals as specific objects of obligations under","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA unique comparison of legal solutions referring to animals in Polish and German contract law, as well as EU law.","brand":"V\u0026R unipress GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48889302778199,"sku":"9783847110446","price":43.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783847110446.jpg?v=1722553715"},{"product_id":"defects-of-consent-in-consumer-e-commerce-from-the-polish-law-perspective-9783847113607","title":"Defects of Consent in Consumer E-Commerce from","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA new Perspective on E-Commerce for Consumers","brand":"V\u0026R unipress GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48889303662935,"sku":"9783847113607","price":43.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783847113607.jpg?v=1722553719"},{"product_id":"die-fiducie-von-quebec-und-der-trust-ein-vergleich-mit-verschiedenen-modellen-fiduziarischer-rechtsfiguren-im-civil-law-9783161491382","title":"Die fiducie von Québec und der trust: Ein","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDer trust ist eine besondere Rechtsfigur des anglo-amerikanischen Rechtskreises (common law), die keine echte Entsprechung im kontinental-europäischen civil law hat. Bisherige Rezeptionsversuche sind stets erheblichen Schwierigkeiten begegnet. Der Gesetzgeber von Québec hat mit der neuen fiducie einen besonders originellen Ansatz zur Einführung einer trust-ähnlichen Rechtsfigur gewählt. Rainer Becker untersucht die fiducie in einer Gegenüberstellung mit anderen Treuhandmodellen, die er aus traditionellen und modernen Rechtsinstituten in civil law- und Mischrechtsordnungen ableitet. Die Besonderheit des neuartigen Ansatzes von Québec liegt darin, dass das Treugut nicht einer der beteiligten Personen (Treuhänder, Treugeber und Begünstigter) zugeordnet ist, sondern eine rechtsträgerlose zweckgewidmete Vermögensmasse, ein patrimoine d'affectation bildet. Im Anschluss an eine Darstellung der fiducie von Québec untersucht der Autor dogmatische Bedenken gegen subjektlose Rechte und Vermögen. Er zeigt, dass sich von den untersuchten Treuhandmodellen mehrere als konstruktive Grundlage eignen, um die funktionalen Qualitäten des trust im civil law erfolgreich nachzuempfinden. Der neuartige Ansatz der fiducie von Québec ist davon, trotz seiner Ungewöhnlichkeit und des erforderlichen Anpassungsaufwands, ein besonders interessantes Modell, das durch ein im civil law bislang einzigartiges umfassendes Regelwerk ergänzt wird. Der Autor widerlegt mit seiner Arbeit auch jene, die den trust gern als Anschauungsbeispiel für eine \"untranslatability of legal concepts\" und eine unüberbrückbare Kluft zwischen common law und civil law heranziehen.","brand":"JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49372697755991,"sku":"9783161491382","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"supreme-court-decisionmaking-new-institutionalist-approaches-9780226109558","title":"Supreme Court DecisionMaking  New","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA collection of essays by leading scholars, exploring how justices are influenced by the distinctive features of courts as institutions and their place in the political system.
