Are Middle Eastern women exceptionally oppressed? Is their oppression rooted in Islam as a religion? This course answers these questions through following the history of women and law in the Middle East and North Africa from the rise of Islam until the present. It surveys major changes in Middle Eastern history and relevant legal transformations, and how they affected gender relations and the status of women in Muslim societies. It begins with studying how the Qur an, the Holy Scripture of Muslims, and Hadith, Prophet Muhammad s traditions, viewed issues of marriage, divorce, polygamy, the veil, women s political participation, etc. Then it moves to study classical Islamic law, largely known as shari a or fiqh, and how its various theories and schools used different interpretations of the Qur an to reach different rulings, either liberal or conservative, on Muslim women s rights. In medieval Islamic times, the course looks at Islamic court practices and visions of muftis on women and gender matters. Moving to the modern and contemporary periods, the course looks at the formation of the nation-state in the Middle East, under European colonialism and during the post-colonial era, and how the personal status codes that the modern state promulgated expanded or limited women s rights. It follows how feminists and Islamists in the region contested each other to influence the formation and reform of these modern laws. Finally, it studies how the discourse of International Human Rights seeks to impact women s rights in the Middle East. Countries such as Egypt, Iran, Morocco, Algeria, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and more are explored as case studies.
