Muslim Women Jurists: Marinid Morocco as a Case Study

Rosemary Admiral, PhD

Assistant Professor of History

The University of Texas at Dallas

 

Women today have complex relationships with Islamic law. I wanted to see how these relationships mapped onto the past, particularly in the case of North Africa. My research found women engaging with the law in creative and strategic ways, not only through the courts but also by way of a number of less-formal community spaces that they carved out for themselves.
