| description | This paper addresses the presupposition that without the
codified laws of modern Islamic family law, women would end up
wandering in pursuance of their legal entitlements in marriage as no
concern was given to their rights in the classical law. It proves that such
codified laws that protect the conjugal rights of women were extracted from
the classical texts of Islamic jurisprudence. Accordingly, the paper brings
forth a set of Shari’ah rulings on wives’ rights in the absence of a regulated
family law framework for concerned jurisdictions. Textual authorities and
juristic dicta are translated, quoted and vividly analyzed comparatively,
outlining the diversity of Islamic law within its various Schools of Thought.
Legal entitlements covering maintenance, clothing, shelter, sexual relations
and other essentials are discussed in depth.
