dc.description.notesThis US article looks at the issue of domestic violence in Muslim societies in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. A comparative framework is used with 4 factors: shari’a:(Islamic law), state power, intra-family violence and struggles over women’s rights. The comparative approach historicises the problem of domestic violence and considers the impact of transnational legal discourses (Islamism and human rights) on the ‘local’ struggles over rights and law. The relationship between religion and state power is important for understanding domestic violence and impunity. It explains the relationship as taking 3 forms: communalisation in which religious law is separate from the national legal system; nationalisation in which the state incorporates religious law into the national legal system; and theocratisation in which the national legal system is based on religious law.en
