Isi artikel

This essaj exp lores gender issues in the contemporary application of Islamic law in the Muslim majorify-states of northern Nigeria. Brief political background helps to explain the shaii’a codes enacted b3 the legislatures of the states, drawing largeiy from the classical formulations of Maliki school of Islamic law. Women were among the first to be prosecuted and sentenced to death by stoning for the offince of zini Th provide effective legal definse for the accused women, their lauyers and activists for women human rights had to argue in Islamic law before they could convince Shañ’a Courts of Appeal to overturn the sentences of death by stoning and set the women free. In the process, women activists learned a lot about the classical formulations of Maliki school of Islamic law, where theji discovered the rich flexibil4y of Islamic thought, and that has empowered them to articulate Islamic criticisms against gender bias in the recentfy enacted shari’a codes.
