"This is the third revised and updated edition of a work that provides a detailed and systematic account of the legal aspects of Islam and modern Arab Islamic legislation with specific regard to the rights and obligations of women. Addressing in particular the legislation of the arab world states, the study ontains essential information on a wide range of topics including dower, maintenance, the iddat, parentage, fosterage and custory, and also a particularly valuable section on marriage and the dissolution of marriage.
