Objectives

  • The aim of the course is to develop an understanding of family law issues in globalizing world. Core areas of family law will be looked at in a comparative perspective. This course offers students the opportunity to study the principles and policies underlying Muslim family law and other personal laws, at a level which is not possible in an undergraduate family law course. A comparative approach is adopted for most topics and the increasingly relevant international dimension in family law is also explored. It is an aim of the course that family law should be seen in its wider social context and students are encouraged to make use of materials other than the traditional statutory and judicial materials. The course is sufficiently flexible to allow attention to be given to issues of immediate relevance or particular topical interest. In the course the underlying values and policies of the respective legal rules will be examined and it will be asked whether they still suit a modern (and ever changing) society. It will be shown that in virtually all areas of family law there is a struggle between autonomy and state paternalism and between regulating social change and effecting social change, and that it is far from clear what the role of law in this struggle could or should be. Muslim Family Law bears the imprints of the juristic interpretations of different schools of thought. The course will consult in appropriate cases the primary sources of Islamic law in order to ascertain the shari’a laws and will examine relevant legislations and case laws in the modern world. There will be a detailed discussion about the opinions of different sects and schools on some selected issues in order to determine whether the applicable laws are consistent with the broader perspectives of Islam. The course would suggest ways to make existing laws gender friendly through rightly guided judicial activism. In that respect, an incisive analysis of the measures, different states have taken to reshape certain areas of Islamic family law through legislation or through judicial activism, will be made. The course will analyze certain important issues, like marriage stipulations, maintenance, dower and its waiver, guardianship of children and preferential gift, in the light of modern international human rights law on gender equality, which is representative of a current wave of research on gender sensitive interpretation of Muslim Family Laws. In essence, the course will be a sustained study of advocacy in support of progressive interpretations of different Family Laws.
