Divorce Aussie Islamic Way ( Study Guide)

DESCRIPTION

With a third of marriages in Australia ending in divorce, how do couples from societies with different customs and religious practices, such as Muslims, go about getting divorced? Divorce: Aussie Islamic Way follows a number of Muslim women as they negotiate divorce through two very different cultures. Getting divorced is fraught with difficulties. There are often property and other economic assets to be divided and most importantly, in many divorces, the care of children and the rights of both parents to be considered. Divorce is never easy. And for Muslim Australians, because they have to navigate the religious practices of Islam and community expectations, as well as Australian law, it can be even more difficult. The dual processes can be complex and time consuming, stressful and emotionally exhausting for Muslim Australians who are literally caught between two worlds. Divorce: Aussie Islamic Way would be suitable for senior and tertiary students studying multicultural perspectives in a number of study areas or as a cross-curriculum subject, in Religion and Society, Values Education, Legal Studies, Gender and Women's Studies or Welfare and Family Studies. The film has relevance across all these learning areas. SKU: SG787 Visit our website to view thousands more products like this and order online at:
