0.0000Polygyny in the Black Muslim Community
Dr. Debra Majeed will be sharing the major findings from her book 'Polygyny: What It Means When African American Muslim Women Share Their Husbands'. It represents over 10 years of national research on multiple marriage in the Black Muslim community. This book features the voices of women who welcome polygyny, oppose it, acquiesce to it, or even negotiate power in its practices. Majeed examines the choices available to African American Muslim women who are considering polygyny or who are living it. She calls attention to the ways in which interpretations of Islam’s primary sources are authorized or legitimated to regulate the rights of Muslim women. Highlighting the legal, emotional, and communal implications of polygyny, Majeed encourages Muslim communities to develop formal measures that ensure the welfare of women and children who are otherwise not recognized by the state. Inshallah, this free community lecture and discussion will be rich and meaningful for all who attend.
