Islam's Sacred Law is one of the most complex, detailed and comprehensive legal theories that Islam, as a Western religion, has produced in its capacity as a doctrine of social justice. However, few available texts have dealt with the treatment of women under the actual system of justice that adheres to Islam's Sacred Law. This book fills this void by providing a much needed comprehensive study of the application of the Sacred Law to women under the Islamic Republic of Iran's justice system. It will be a fascinating guide to all those interested in comparative law, criminal justice and the sociology of law.

Industry Reviews

'...provides much needed insight into Islam's basic Sharia (Sacred) Law...a comprehensive but succinct challenge to the contemporary government's claim that its application of the Sharia emulates the Prophet Muhammad's style of adjudication...' UN21 Interest Group Newsletter 'Kusha's book provides a reasoned analysis supported by a wealth of data about the criminal justice system in Iran as it relates to women...The book is a must read for both its criminological and historic significance.' International Criminal Justice Review
