Description: Human Rights under State-Enforced Religious Family Laws in Israel, Egypt and India by YÜksel Sezgin Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description YÜksel Sezgin looks at the impact of state-enforced religious family laws on human rights in Israel, Egypt and India, identifies the various resistance strategies which rights activists have successfully mobilized in these jurisdictions and makes proposals for the integration of universal human rights principles into religious legal systems. Publisher Description About one-third of the worlds population currently lives under pluri-legal systems where governments hold individuals subject to the purview of ethno-religious rather than national norms in respect to family law. How does the state-enforcement of these religious family laws impact fundamental rights and liberties? What resistance strategies do people employ in order to overcome the disabilities and limitations these religious laws impose upon their rights? Based on archival research, court observations and interviews with individuals from three countries, YÜksel Sezgin shows that governments have often intervened in order to impress a particular image of subjectivity upon a society, while people have constantly challenged the interpretive monopoly of courts and state-sanctioned religious institutions, re-negotiated their rights and duties under the law, and changed the system from within. He also identifies key lessons and best practices for the integration of universal human rights principles into religious legal systems. Author Biography YÜksel Sezgin is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University, where his research and teaching interests include legal pluralism, informal justice systems, comparative religious law, and human and womens rights in the context of the Middle East, South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
