摘要

目的本文的目的是评估是什么导致了孟加拉国在阐明性别平等继承政策时的争论和困惑,并确定阻碍该政策通过的社会政治驱动因素和政治权力游戏的性质。设计/方法论/方法本论文的研究基于定性方法,包括深入的半结构化访谈、焦点小组讨论和二次数据分析的案例研究。采访对象包括政策制定者、官员、律师、妇女活动家、穆斯林宗教学者、印度教牧师、学者和研究人员,以及代表印度教和穆斯林宗教的妇女。调查结果表明,伊斯兰宗教与国家和国际政策之间的争议导致了孟加拉国关于性别平等继承权的严重辩论和混乱。未能制定和通过性别平等的继承政策受到一些社会政治现象和性别偏见的体制环境的影响。这种政策具有深刻的政治性,制定这种政策需要文化兼容性,尤其是当政策影响宗教情绪时。因此,与基于宗教的属人法相关的宗教情绪和信仰影响着性别平等政策的制定或不制定。为了推进妇女包容的基本理念,迫切需要确定制定、不制定以及实施性别平等政策背后的社会文化和政治驱动因素。原创性/价值该论文将有利于学者和政策制定者,他们试图在穆斯林占多数的发展中国家背景下探索制定性别平等政策的挑战和反对的中心。

Equality in contention: exploring the debates of gender-equal inheritance rights in Bangladesh
PurposeThe purpose of the paper is to evaluate what caused the debates and confusion in articulating a gender-equal inheritance policy in Bangladesh, and to identify the socio-political drivers and nature of the political power play that thwarted the policy’s adoption.Design/methodology/approachThe research undergirding this paper is based on a qualitative approach involving a case study with in-depth semi-structured interviews, focus-group discussions, and secondary data analysis. The interviews were conducted with policy makers, officials, lawyers, women activists, Muslim religious scholars, Hindu priests, academics and researchers, and women representing Hindu and Muslim religions.FindingsThe findings illustrate that the controversies between the Islamic religion and national and international policies led to serious debates and confusion about gender-equal rights of inheritance in Bangladesh. The failure to formulate and adopt a gender-equal inheritance policy was influenced by several socio-political phenomena and gender-biased institutional settings. This kind of policy is deeply political, and cultural compatibility is necessary to formulate it, especially when the policy affects religious sentiments. Religious sentiments and beliefs, which are associated with religion-based personal law, therefore influence both the formulation or non-formulation of a gender-equal policy. To move forward with the fundamental idea of women’s inclusion, there is a strong need to identify the socio-cultural and political drivers behind formulating, non-formulating, as well as implementing a gender-equal policy.Originality/valueThe paper will be beneficial to scholars and policy makers who seek to explore the epicenter of challenges and opposition to formulating a gender-equal policy in the context of a developing country with a Muslim majority.
