book review

What is it about?

This volume, edited by Nadjma Yassari, a leading authority in the field of Islamic and Middle Eastern law and especially family law, has the strengths and weaknesses of this type of publication. Regarding the latter, one can mention a certain degree of heterogeneity, which cannot be totally masked by the four-part structuration of the book. In addition, there is the very partial coverage of the very broad topic--change in family law--considered in an area, the Middle East, that is also broad and used in its widest sense, from Morocco to Pakistan. With regard to the strengths, one should emphasize the exceptional quality of the contributors, on the one hand, and the general framing of the question addressed by the volume, on the other.
