文摘

This article focuses on the personal narratives of Palestinian Muslim women whose mothers-in-law contributed to the demise of their marriage. Based on 200 interviews with women who brought their cases to the Shari’a courts of Jerusalem and Taibe, this research indicates that interference by the mother-in-law in the life of married couples is one of the main reasons that Palestinian Muslim couples separate and sometimes divorce, even though divorce is considered a taboo. As a result of the co-residency and the meddling of the mother-in law, Palestinian women learn about their Islamic rights to separate housing, and then take steps to live separately from their husbands and abusive in-laws, and in some cases even seek divorce.
