This book begins by examining the concepts of rights in Islam and international human rights law. Ali looks at the ways in which women?s rights are protected, or denied, focusing on the way in which Islam, like international human rights, has moved through three phases of protective, corrective and non-discriminatory rights. In the second part of the book, Ali looks at the application or misapplication of women?s rights in Muslim jurisdictions, focusing on Pakistan as a case study. The final part of the book returns to international human rights lad and Muslim states? response to various teasties. (From Mathew, Penelope.
