Women's Rights and Plural Legality is part of the 2016 Contextual Lecture Series: Taking Liberties.
In this talk Shaheen Sardar Ali will contextualize the rights and place of British Muslim women negotiating their multiple identities. I will seek to address some of the following questions and issues: Is there a hierarchy of rights and legal norms that inform how British Muslim women order their lives and dealings with the plural legalities affecting their lives? To what extent do these plural legal systems contradict or reinforce each other and how does this interplay impact on the lives of British Muslim women?
Shaheen Ali has an LLB (Peshawar), LLM (Hull), MA (Peshawar) and PhD (Hull) and has written extensively in the field of Islamic law, human rights, women and child rights. Shaheen is joint editor of the Journal of Islamic State Practices in International Law.
