Sezgin, Yüksel creator text xx Delhi Cambridge University Press 2013 9999 1st ed. monographic und xxxv, 322 p. ; 23 cm. This book explores pluri-legal systems in Israel, Egypt, and India where states hold citizens subject to ethno-religious personal status laws rather than uniform national codes for family law. Through extensive field and archival research, Sezgin examines how state enforcement of religious laws compromises universal human rights, particularly for women and marginalized subgroups, while analyzing the socio-political strategies citizens use to resist and navigate these legal structures.
