Description
This book explores the process, effects, and results of codification of Egyptian personal status laws as seen through the eyes of the 'ulama'. The codification process began in the mid-1800s and continued until the abolishment of the Shari'a courts in 1955 with the absorption of personal status statutes into the newly drafted civil code and the national courts that administered them.
