Routledge - Applied Family Law in Islamic Courts: Gaza

Explore the socio-legal landscape of Gaza-Palestine with this ethnographic study from Routledge. This book investigates how Islamic jurisprudence functions in real-world settings, looking closely at the daily operations of Shari'a courts. It examines the relationships between judges, lawyers, and litigants, noting how their roles within the power structure affect legal outcomes. The text looks at how actors navigate codified statutes to find practical solutions to unresolved problems. By analyzing the ways individuals manipulate and apply the law, the book provides a clear view of how legal systems function in practice rather than just in theory. This is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of law, society, and religious jurisprudence in a specific regional context.
