This is a clear and concise description of the reforms made in the Sharia legal system in Israel over the past two decades, aimed at improving the status of the Muslim woman and strengthening the judicial independence of the Indigenous Muslim community in the Jewish state. Based on his rich experience as head of the Sharia judiciary in Israel, and his academic background, Qadi Natour presents the reforms he initiated during his tenure and analyzes them from both legal and social perspectives. This is a must-read book for anyone who wants to understand Arab society in Israel and the challenges of Islamic law-makers in modern times.--Hillel Cohen Qadi Natour offers a perceptive book concerning the rights of women under Islamic Law. The book effectively demonstrates how Islamic Law is invoked within an overlying Israeli legal system, as well as offers insights into how the Shar'i Court of Appeals in Israel invoked new approaches for women's rights under Islamic Law.--Leonard Hammer
