- Description
- This book examines Islam and women’s everyday life, focusing in particular on the issue of polygamy. It discusses the interpretations of the Qur’anic verses that are at the heart of Muslim controversies over polygamy, with some groups believing that Islam enshrines polygamy as a male right, others seeing it as permitted but discouraged in favour of monogamy, and other groups arguing that Islam implicitly prohibits polygamy. Based on fieldwork conducted in Indonesia, it provides an account of women’s lived experiences in polygamous marriages, describing the different perceptions of the practice and strategies in dealing with it. It also considers the impact of changing public policy, in particular Indonesia’s Marriage Law which restricted the practice of polygamy.
