| Abstract
|
:
|
This study examines religious and legal authority within the Muslim community of Char Fasson in rural Bangladesh, paying particular attention to the discursive and performative aspects of social actors' engagement in legal systems that operate alongside the formal judicial system of the modern nation-state. Furthermore, I analyze ways in which agency and decision-making are experienced and negotiated within the context of multiple legal authorities, particularly by women. This dissertation contextualizes legal decision-making in everyday life, within historical and textual frameworks, and emphasizes the religious aspects of family law as it adjudicated in Bangladesh.
