Her Day in Court - Women's Property Rights in Fifteenth-Century Granada

Klappentext philosophy and a pervasive paradigm that made property ownership a normal construct of the Muslim woman's legal persona and a norm of her existence. Zusammenfassung This study of the historical record of property rights and equity of Muslim women is based on Islamic court documents of 15th-century Granada. The book examines women’s legal entitlements to acquire property, and the social and economic significance of these rights to Granada’s female population and—by extension—to women in other Islamic societies.
