"Jurists and Jurisprudence in Medieval Italy is an original collection of texts exemplifying medieval Italian jurisprudence, known as the ius commune. Translated for the first time into English, many of the texts exist only in early printed editions and manuscripts. Featuring commentaries by leading medieval civil law jurists, notably Azo Portius, Accursius, Albertus Gandinus, Bartolus of Sassoferrato, and Baldus de Ubaldis, this book covers a wide range of topics, including how to teach and study law, the production of legal texts, the ethical norms guiding practitioners, civil and criminal procedures, and family matters. The translations, together with context-setting introductions, highlight fundamental legal concepts and practices and the milieu in which jurists operated. They offer entry points for exploring perennial subjects, such as the professionalization of lawyers, the tangled relationship between law and morality, the role of gender in the socio-legal order, and the extent to which the ius commune can be considered an autonomous system of law."--

This volume explores the multiple meanings and implications of lobola in Southern Africa. The payment of lobola (often controversially translated as ‘bridewealth’) is an entrenched practice in most societies in Southern Africa. Although having a long tradition, of late there have been voices questioning its relevance in contemporary times while others vehemently defend the practice. This book brings together a range of scholars from different academic disciplines, national contexts, institutions, genders, and ethnic backgrounds to debate the relevance of lobola in contemporary southern African communities for gender equality.

Die Brautgabe (mahr) ist eine Schlüsselfigur des klassischen islamischen Eherechts, die von allen islamischen Ländern rezipiert worden ist. Nadjma Yassari untersucht die Grundlagen dieses Rechtsinstituts, verfolgt ihre historische Entwicklung und kontextualisiert sie im Familienvermögensrecht von Ägypten, Iran, Pakistan und Tunesien. Obwohl die vermögensrechtlichen Beziehungen zwischen den Ehegatten stetig fortentwickelt worden sind, ist die Ausstrahlungskraft dieser Reformen schwach: Der Grundsatz der nachehelichen Solidarität ist kaum gefestigt; nennenswerte soziale Transferleistungen besteh
