    Introduction ---- 1. Women in the Qur'åan --- 2. Marriage in the formative period --- 3. Divorce in the formative period --- 4. From the formative to the classical periods --- 5. Women's lives ---- Conclusion.
    Summary: Drawing on legal and hadith texts from the formative and classical periods of Islamic legal history, this book offers an overview of the development of the questions prominent jurists asked and answered about womenʹs issues. All assumed a woman would marry and thus the book concentrates on womenʹs family life. The introduction establishes the historical framework within which the jurists worked. A chapter on Qurʹan verses devoted to womenʹs lives is followed by chapters on marriage and divorce which compare the views of jurists during the formative period. The fourth chapter describes the evolution from the formative to the classical periods. The fifth uses material from both periods to describe the array of legal opinion about other aspects of womenʹs lives in and outside their homes. Throughout, juristsʹ opinions are juxtaposed with relevant quotations from contemporaneous hadith collections. -- Back cover.
