Summary
Lena-Maria Möller considers the dynamics of legal development in Muslim family law. Based on an interdisciplinary and comparative analysis of the recently enacted family codes of Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, she explores the degree to which the reformed rules governing marriage, divorce and custody meet the countries' changing regulatory needs created by the rapid socioeconomic transformation that the Arab Gulf region has undergone in the past decades.
