Marriage and Slavery in Early Islam - By Kecia Ali (original) (raw)

The book explores the intricate relationship between marriage and slavery in early Islamic society, examining legal texts and concepts surrounding femaleness and ownership. It highlights the distinct differences between marriage as a legal institution versus enslavement and argues that contemporary scholarship is underrepresented. The work aims to contribute to scholarly discourse without engaging directly in current debates on family law reform affecting women's rights in Muslim-majority contexts.
