dc.description.abstractHvordan kan europeiske domstoler anvende muslimsk rett og samtidig fremme likestilling? I internasjonalt privatrettslige skilsmissesaker er det ikke alltid mannen som ønsker at det muslimske hjemlandets rett skal anvendes. Objektet for analysen er internasjonalt privatrettslige saker som omhandler den muslimske brudegaven, mahr, fra skandinaviske, engelske og franske domstoler. Mahr er en obligatorisk del av den muslimske ekteskapskontrakten, og tidvis kan det dreie seg om store summer som kvinnen kan kreve i forbindelse med et skilsmisseoppgjør. Oppgaven tar utgangspunkt i en hypotese om at europeiske domstoler må anvende komparativrettslig metode for å tolke det muslimske landets rett på en korrekt måte, og at de må anvende likeverd som likestillingsnorm for å klare å ta høyde for de likestillingsfremmende elementene i muslimsk rett. Følgende fagområder er berørt i oppgaven: komparativ rett, internasjonal privatrett, familierett, menneskerettigheter, kvinnerett.nor
dc.description.abstractHow can European courts apply Muslim laws and at the same time promote gender equality? In divorce cases involving private international law it s not always the husband who wants the Muslim laws to be applied. The object of analysis is judgments concerning the Muslim dower, mahr, from Scandinavian, French and English courts, which also concern private international law. Mahr is a compulsory part of the Muslim marriage contract, and sometimes large sums are claimed by women at the time of divorce. The thesis takes the following hypothesis as a starting point: In order to understand and apply Muslim laws correctly, European courts must apply comparative legal method, and in order to promote gender equality they must apply the gender justice norm of equal worth. The Muslim marriage contract gives husband and wife different rights and duties, and a mechanical gender equality norm may actually cause elements of Muslim laws that work to the advantage of women to be overlooked. The thesis touches upon a variety of legal domains: Comparative law, private international law, family law, human rights and women s law.eng
