While the reasons for opposition to sharia processes are complex, they often feature the concern that sharia processes disadvantage Muslim women. However, to date there has been inadequate attention to the experiences of participants in sharia processes. This book studies women’s experiences with these processes in Australia, with attention to the question of how religious communities and liberal legal systems can best respond to the needs of Muslim women who use these processes. In doing so, the book offers unique evidence to inform future policy developments in Australia that will also have implications for other liberal jurisdictions. In this way, the book makes a significant contribution to the international discussion and response to sharia processes. 2022-10-14T14:55:06Z 2022-10-14T14:55:06Z 2021 book ONIX_20221014_9781509920747_191 9781509920747 9781509920754 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58860 eng application/pdf n/a 9781509920754.pdf Bloomsbury Academic Hart Publishing 10.5040/9781509920761 10.5040/9781509920761 066d8288-86e4-4745-ad2c-4fa54a6b9b7b 9781509920747 9781509920754 Hart Publishing 200 London open access
