Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Women?s rights in family law constitute one of the most divisive issues in the Islamic world. Debates over the laws have led to open conflict and bloodshed in many periods of Islamic history, and especially in recent times. The crux of the matter is the set of laws on marriage, divorce, custody, and inheritance, which have in common issues of legal autonomy for women. The question raised in this paper is: Why were women?s rights in family law expanded in Tunisia, but curtailed in Algeria and Morocco in the aftermath of colonial rule, when each country gained independence from France? The focus is on long term structural processes of nation building and their consequences for family law. Presenting a structural framework to analyze the basic choices made by the Tunisian, Algerian, and Morocco states in the critical historical moment following national independence, the paper centers on how conflicts and alliances over state power have shaped the policy on family law. It shows how the interpretation of Islamic law was mediated by different processes of nation building to produce different outcomes with respect to gender.
