Question
How does Shahrur read the issues of women, family, and clothing outside the inherited juristic formulation?
The idea in the atlas
This page brings together women and the theory of limits, freedom, and human dignity. Through this connection, the issues of clothing, guardianship, inheritance, and family emerge as testing grounds for the way the text is read and for engaging with reality and social change.
From the perspective of human rights, this file now has a dedicated entry in Women and Family within Human Rights. This entry reads equality, non-discrimination, consent, guardianship, and violence within the family as governing points of scrutiny for building the study.
