The codification of Islamic criminal law in the Sudan : penal codes and Supreme Court case law under Numayrهi and al-Bashهir
In 'The Codification of Islamic Criminal Law in the Sudan', Olaf Kèondgen offers an in-depth analysis of the Sudan's Islamized penal codes of 1983 and 1991, their historical, political, and juridical context, their interpretation in the case law of the Supreme Court, and their practical application. He examines issues that arise in sharia criminal law, including homicide, bodily harm, unlawful sexual intercourse (zina, liwat), rape, unfounded accusation of unlawful sexual intercourse (qadhf), highway robbery (hiraba), apostasy (ridda), and alcohol consumption. 0Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, a large number of previously untapped Supreme Court cases, and interviews with judges and politicians, Kèondgen convincingly explains the multiple contradictions and often surprising aspects of one of the Arab world's longest lasting applications of codified sharia criminal law.0. --Back cover.

Wars of Law
In Wars of Law , Tanisha M. Fazal assesses the
unintended consequences of the proliferation of the laws of war for
the commencement, conduct, and conclusion of wars over the course
of the past one hundred fifty years.
Fazal outlines three main arguments: early laws of war favored
belligerents, but more recent additions have constrained them; this
shift may be attributable to a growing divide between lawmakers and
those who must comply with international humanitarian law; and
lawmakers have been consistently inattentive to how rebel groups
might receive these laws. By using the laws of war strategically,
Fazal suggests, belligerents in both interstate and civil wars
relate those laws to their big-picture goals.
Why have states stopped issuing formal declarations of war? Why
have states stopped concluding formal peace treaties? Why are civil
wars especially likely to end in peace treaties today? In
addressing such questions, Fazal provides a lively and intriguing
account of the implications of the laws of war.

Islamic Divorce in the Twenty-First Century
Islamic Divorce in the 21st Century shows the wide range
of Muslim experiences in marital disputes and in seeking Islamic
divorces. For Muslims, having the ability to divorce in accordance
with Islamic law is of paramount importance. However, Muslim
experiences of divorce practice differ tremendously. The chapters
in this volume discuss Islamic divorce from West Africa to
Southeast Asia, and each story explores aspects of the everyday
realities of disputing and divorcing Muslim couples face in the
twenty-first century. The book's cross-cultural and comparative
look at Islamic divorce indicates that Muslim divorces are impacted
by global religious discourses on Islamic authority, authenticity,
and gender; by global patterns of and approaches to secularity; and
by global economic inequalities and attendant patterns of
urbanization and migration. Studying divorce as a mode of Islamic
law in practice shows us that the Islamic legal tradition is
flexible, malleable, and context-dependent.
