"Islamic Law and Marriage" offers a comprehensive examination of the concepts and customs related to marriage under the legal framework of Islam. It explores the Islamic legal, social, and religious aspects of marriage, providing an understanding of the different regulations that control this important institution. In order to preserve family unity and communal stability, marriage in Islam is not just a personal agreement but also a social and religious duty. The book explores what Islamic law requires in order for a marriage to be deemed lawful, including consent, the guardian's (wali) function, and the importance of the marriage contract (nikah). It highlights the mutual rights and responsibilities of spouses, emphasizing the importance of equality, justice, and mutual respect within the marital relationship. The text offers a fair assessment of how these topics are handled in Islamic jurisprudence across many cultures and schools of thought.

This study provides a thorough yet approachable analysis of the complex relationship between Islamic law and the institution of marriage, making it a must-read for academics, legal experts, and anybody else interested in Islamic law and family dynamics.
