"The aim of this book is to explore what response the law has or should have to different
family practices arising from cultural and religious beliefs. The issue has become
increasingly debated as western countries have become more culturally diverse. Although
discussion has frequently focused on the role Islamic family law should have in these
countries, this book seeks to set that discussion within a wider context that includes
consideration both of theoretical issues and also of empirical data about the interaction
between specific family practices and state law in a variety of jurisdictions ranging
from England and Wales to Bangladesh, Botswana, Spain, Poland, France, Israel, Iran
and South Africa. The contributors to the 17 chapters approach the subject matter
from a variety of perspectives, illustrating its complex and often sensitive nature.
The book does not set out to propose any single definitive strategy that should be
adopted, but provides material on which researchers, advocates and policy makers can
draw in furthering their understanding of and seeking solutions to the problems raised
by this significant social development"--P. [i]
