Introduction >

This paper would not have been possible without the efforts of many people who contributed by sharing information, clarifying points of family law and Islamic jurisprudence, reading and re-reading drafts and providing their important feedback. The author would like to acknowledge the contribution of all the women of NAWL's working group for their input on previous drafts of the paper.  I am particularly grateful for the supervisory role played by Andrée Côté on this project. Her knowledge of feminist academic/activist work combined with her gentle inquisitive manner was an inspiration.

Funding for Part One of this paper was provided by the Canadian Council of Muslim Women, the National Organization of Immigrant and Visible Minority and the National Association of Women and the Law with financial support from the Women's Program, Status of Women Canada.  The remainder of the paper was funded by the Law Commission of Canada and the Walter and Duncan Gordon Foundation.
