A ‘Much-Married Woman’ Revisited: Kinship Perspectives on the High Frequency of Divorce among Uyghurs in Southern Xinjiang, China

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter is looking at the topic of wide range of Muslim experiences in marital disputes and in seeking Islamic divorces. For Muslims, having the ability to divorce in accordance with Islamic law is of paramount importance. However, Muslim experiences of divorce practice differ tremendously.Looking at experiences of Uyghurs living in Southern Xinjiang, authors presents many stories exploring aspects of the everyday realities of disputing and divorcing, which Muslim couples face in the twenty-first century. The chapter’s cross-cultural and comparative look at Islamic divorce indicates that Muslim divorces are impacted by global religious discourses on Islamic authority, authenticity, and gender; by global patterns of and approaches to secularity; and by global economic inequalities and attendant patterns of urbanization and migration. Studying divorce as a mode of Islamic law in practice shows us that the Islamic legal tradition is flexible, malleable, and context-dependent.
