Reform of U峁E玪 al-Fiqh (Ethical鈥揕egal Theory) and Marriage: A Spiritually Integrative Approach
This Arabic-language lecture will be held online at 16.30 BST.
Nevin Reda takes the conversation on gender justice deep into the realm of u峁E玪 al-fiqh (ethical鈥搇egal theory). She identifies the problems in the latter鈥檚 methodologies and highlights how these contribute to injustice. She also reconstructs these methodologies in gender-just ways, utilizing a hermeneutic that is spiritually integrative to reconceptualize marriage as a civil contract of equal partnership and a covenant for spiritual advancement. While the contractual aspects are justiciable, the spiritual aspects are not; however, the law serves to regulate marriage in ways that best enable this institution to fulfil its spiritual purpose, including the advancement of values such as 鈥榓诲濒, 辩颈蝉峁, and 颈岣腻苍, within particular contexts.
