It makes a compelling argument that Islamic Law has bestowed upon women rights and privileges in various spheres, including family life, marriage, education, and economic pursuits. These rights are intended to elevate their status in society and promote their well-being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, it is important to note that the interpretations of religious scholars, influenced by local traditions and social trends, have sometimes led to women not fully receiving these rights, particularly in family life and marriage. This discrepancy highlights the complex interplay between religious beliefs and societal norms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn contrast, the book also sheds light on how the wealth gained through the discovery of oil has further solidified the position of UAE women. This newfound prosperity has enabled them to pursue education, engage in social affairs, and participate in the economic landscape, thus expanding their opportunities and breaking down barriers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book holds significant value for scholars and researchers interested in exploring the dynamics of women in Islamic society and the process of modernisation in the Middle East. It provides a rich and detailed account of the historical and social factors that have influenced the position of women in the UAE and offers valuable insights into the ongoing challenges and opportunities they face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 154g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 139 x 216 x 12 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781138696181\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Linda Usra Soffan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44105145024762,"sku":"9781138696181","price":38.07,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/10ff72b40a2d8a570c605fb7315f875b.jpg?v=1630381035","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/women-of-the-united-arab-emirates","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
