Abstract

Abstract:Based on empirical evidence from the Shari’a court in Beersheba of the ratification of customary polygamous marriages, the article examines the complexity of legal recognition of second marriages and the structural conditions under which polygamy is possible in the plural legal orders that exist in Israel. Although polygamy is criminally prohibited by the state of Israel, this prohibition is not enforced among the Bedouin in Israel, where 18.5 percent of Bedouin households are polygamous. This article demonstrates how these conditions perpetuate patriarchal norms among the Bedouin under the auspices of colonial legal structures.

书本上的法律与行动中的法律：犹太国家一夫多妻制婚姻中的穆斯林妇女

摘要:本文以贝尔谢巴的伊斯兰教法院批准习惯一夫多妻制婚姻的经验证据为基础，考察了以色列法律承认第二次婚姻的复杂性，以及在多元法律秩序下一夫多妻制可能存在的结构性条件。虽然以色列从法律上禁止一夫多妻制，但这一禁令并没有在以色列的贝都因人中得到执行。在以色列，18.5%的贝都因家庭实行一夫多妻制。本文展示了这些条件如何在殖民法律结构的支持下使贝都因人的父权规范永久化。

期刊介绍： Social Politics is the journal for incisive analyses of gender, politics and policy across the globe. It takes on the critical emerging issues of our age: globalization, transnationality and citizenship, migration, diversity and its intersections, the restructuring of capitalisms and states. We engage with feminist theoretical issues and with theories of welfare regimes, "varieties of capitalism," the ideational and cultural turns in social science, governmentality and postcolonialism. We are looking for articles that engage in this exciting mix of debates that will be of interest to our multidisciplinary and international audience.
