RELIGIOUS POWER, THE STATE, WOMEN’S RIGHTS, AND FAMILY LAW Abstract Sex discrimination in property rights, marriage and divorce, inheritance, and parenting thwarts women’s quest for equal rights, violates international conventions, and contradicts many national constitutions. While many countries have reformed family and personal status laws to promote equality, dozens continue to enforce discriminatory provisions. What explains variation in the degree of sex equality in family law? Analyzing an original dataset on the characteristics of family law in 70 countries between 1975 and 2005, we show that the political institutionalization of religious authority is powerfully associated with the degree to which family law discriminates against women. State involvement in religion offers a better account of variation in sex equality in family law than a wide variety of religious and non-religious factors such political parties, women in parliament, democratization, and economic development.

  • Religious Power, the State, Women's Rights, and Family
    Politics & Gender, 11 (2015), 451–477. Religious Power, the State, Women’s Rights, and Family Law Mala Htun University of New Mexico S. Laurel Weldon Purdue University amily law is an essential dimension of women’s citizenship in the F modern state. The rights established in family law shape women’s agency and autonomy; they also regulate access to basic resources — such as land, income, and education — that determine a citizen’s ability to earn a living independently, among other life chances (Agarwal 1994; Deere and Leo´n 2001; Kabeer 1994; Okin 1989; World Bank 2012). Yet family law is a notorious site of sex inequality, historically and in the present. Equal rights enjoyed by women in national constitutions are often contradicted by family and civil codes that subordinate women to the decisions of their husbands and fathers. In the early 21st century, family law in a significant number of countries discriminated against women, denying them the rights held by men and contributing to their disadvantaged social positions. Weldon and Htun are equal contributors to all parts of this project. Research was supported by National Science Foundation SES Grant #0550284.

It molds social identities and distributes rights and responsibilities, forging relations of power between men and women, parents and children, brothers and sisters. These status differences are consequential not just for the private sphere but also for public opportunities. Family laws shape the capacity of a citizen to own, inherit, and manage property; to work outside the home; her freedom to marry, divorce, and remarry; and her or his relationship with children.
