520    A number of Arab states have recently either codified 
       Muslim family law for the first time, or have issued 
       amendments or new laws which significantly impact the 
       statutory rights of women as wives, mothers and daughters.
       In Women and Muslim Family Laws in Arab States Lynn 
       Welchman examines women's rights in Muslim family laws in 
       Arab states across the Middle East while also surveying 
       the public debates surrounding the issues. The author 
       considers these new laws alongside older statutes to 
       comment on the patterns and dynamics of change both in the
       texts of the laws, and in the processes through by which 
       they are drafted and issued. She draws on original legal 
       texts and explanatory statements as well as on extensive 
       secondary literature particular to certain states for an 
       insight into practice, and on; interventions by women's 
       rights organizations and other parties to the debate in 
       the press and in advocacy materials. The discussions are 
       set in the contemporary global context that 
       'internationalises' the domestic and regional debates. The
       book considers laws in states from the Gulf to North 
       Africa in regard to their approaches to issues of 
       codification processes and issues of and of registration, 
       capacity and guardianship in marriage, polygyny, the 
       marital relationship, divorce and child custody. --
