Includes bibliographical references (p. 204-214) and index.

A Conflict of Rights Claims -- Hierarchies of Rights Claims -- Theological Challenges to Religious Women's Rights -- The Question of Relativism -- The Question of Privacy -- The Question of Agency -- Religion, Rights and Change -- Bibliography.

Religious freedom is widely agreed to be a basic human right. So arewomen's rights , among others, to life, to freedom from torture or captivity, and to bodily integrity. Occasionally such rights claims come into conflict, with valid arguments made on each side for the importanceof safeguarding religious integrity and for the dignity of women. Alison Boden analyzes the ways in which gender and religion so complicate the use of human rights rhetoric that it can become ineffective in resolving the standoff. Women's Rights and Religious Practice traces the impediments to a legal resolutionand, comparing Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity, examines the variety and complexity of theologicalpositions on women and equality. With a perspective that respects both women's rights and religiouspractices, the book analyzes arguments for accommodating ethical differences, for family privacy and religious authority, and for the wishes of the women involved. It concludes that, in many instances of such conflict, a resolution is to be found in changes to familial religious ideology rather than to rights legislation and enforcement.
