Marriage, Money and Divorce in Medieval Islamic Society - Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization
Rapoport, Yossef (University of Oxford)
Yossef Rapoport explores the prevalence of divorce in medieval Islamic society. In so doing, he reveals that women possessed a surprising level of economic independence which they manipulated to initiate divorce as often as men. The book makes a significant contribution to the social history of an understudied period.
