The Family Structure in Islam (SC)
A comprehensive and scholarly look at the family unit in Islam, from its conception via marriage to rights and roles of the partners that make for a successful team.
The author considers how religion and law, together with the social conditions during the first four centuries of Islam shaped ideas about what the family system of Muslims should become.
He squarely confronts the most difficult issues of scholarship and morals concerning Islam, such as plural marriages, modes of divorce, social equality in mating, and "sensousness".
He not only sheds light on these old questions but asks us to contemplate why they continually arise.
