Through its engagement with the state's preoccupation with regulating personal law through the instrument of secularism, the book offers extensive insight into the emergence of personal law as a contentious space at which numerous negotiations are undertaken between and among a plurality of actors who utilize the same vocabulary in different ways … it is best internalized through 'slow reading' - a process that will ensure that Divorce and Democracy becomes an invaluable resource for those interested in the subject matter and its several intertwined strands of inquiry.'
