ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book shows how the three guiding norms in local normative framework work to change the way the cases are considered. It argues for three norms heterogeneity, expansive justice and post-colonial and post peoples that were designed to aid the fresh perspectives on law in overcoming the difficulties and identifies current official legal responses to diversity. Although the norm of expansive justice is broad enough to inform matters considered under the headings of the other two norms in this triad, the book considers the second line of reasoning employed in this jurisprudence. The book illustrates how Islamic veils are viewed as incompatible with gender equality, but the unspoken presupposition behind this approach is that non-Islamic, Western forms of dress are already compatible with gender equality.
