ABSTRACT

In order to obtain the views of present-day legal scholars, we submitted a number of questions regarding the position of woman and marriage in Islam in the hope of getting answers from them that would elucidate our position and where we stand in our reform of the judiciary which is necessary for the benefit of justice and progress for women. These are the questions:

1 Does the woman have the right to choose a husband, or is this the right of her legal guardian, and who has the final say?
