AbstractBy analysing the proposals contained in the report, “Promoting Women’s Rights Through Sharia in Northern Nigeria,” which was published by the Centre for Islamic Legal Studies at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) in Zaria in 2005, this paper explores the complexities and consequences of a rights strategy grounded in “an authentic understanding of Sharia.” The paper argues that this strategy may further constrain the discourses of debate for Muslim women in northern Nigeria. It also discusses how the strategy privatizes responsibility for poverty eradication, and how it ignores competing languages of social change, including Nigerian and international women’s rights.

Discrimination of immigrant groups is an important social problem in many societies around the world. This study examines the moderating role of cultural diversity beliefs on the relation between dual identity and the intention to protest against immigrants’ discrimination. An experimental study was conducted among national samples of the three main immigrant-origin groups in the Netherlands. It was found that dual identity predicted the intention to protest against discrimination more strongly within a context of multicultural recognition compared to a context of assimilation or interculturalism. This demonstrates that multicultural recognition is a facilitating condition for dual identifiers to get involved in collective action for social change.

Abstract This paper aims to understand the unique relationship between Korean drama and the formation of multicultural identity among Muslim women students. On the one hand, as a form of racial activity, watching Korean dramas can establish a new form of identity while at the same time enriching a new perspective of building multicultural sense. On the other hand as a part of Muslim, they can control Korean culture that is incompatible with Islamic doctrine. This paper argues that adopting Korean dramas positively supports students in creating multicultural cultures. These findings may contribute to the formation of cultural diversity within the Islamic context.

أصبح الزواج المختلط ظاهرة منتشرة في جميع أنحاء العالم، ونظراً لبعض الحالات والحوداث الناشئة عن هذا الزواج والتي تتعارض في الغالب مع مقاصد الشريعة المتعلقة بالزواج، أضحت دراسة هذه الظاهرة من حيث الإشكاليات الواردة فيها من الضرورة بمكان للوصول إلى حلول من شأنها تسديد المسار، وتقويم الاعوجاج في هذا الموضوع. على أن الزواج المختلط في حد ذاته- والذي يتم بين رجل وامرأة من قبيلتين مختلفتين تماماً- لا يشكل خطراً في الأمر؛ حيث إن لله تعالى حكمة بالغة في خلق البشر شعوباً وقبائل. هدفت الدراسة إلى النظر في الزواج المختلط في ماليزيا والمشاكل أو التحديات الواردة في هذا النوع من الزواج.  تم استخدام المنهج التحليلي لدراسة هذا الموضوع. توصلت الدراسة إلى أن القانون الماليزي يجيز الزواج المختلط بين القبيلتين المختلفتين شريطة أن يكون المتقدم للزواج بملايوية مسلماً وإن اختلفت لغته وخلفيته الثقافية الصينية أو الهندية، وعلى الرغم من أن القانون يبيح هذا النوع من الزواج إلا أن نسبة نجاح هذا الزواج ضئيلة، وهذه النسبة تهدد مبدأ التأبيد والذي هو الأصل في عقد الزواج، كما أوضحت الدراسة أن السبب وراء ذلك راجع في كثير من الأحيان إلى اختلاف اللغة والثقافة ومشكلات أخرى تم دراستها وتوصلت الدراسة إلى أن هذه المشكلات يمكن حلُّها بتفاهم واحترام متبادل بين الزوجين وأهلهما دون أن يؤول إلى الطلاق، شأنها شأن كثير من المشكلات التي تحدث في غير الزواج المختلط، وتوصي الدراسة صانعي القرار والجهات القانونية إلى وضع ضوابط ولوائح خاصة بهذا النوع من الزواج فيما يتعلق بمشكلة الحضانة حفظاً لمقصد حفظ النسل وصوناً لكرامة المرأة المسلمة. كما توصي المؤسسات الإسلامية بالقيام بدور توعية معتنقي الإسلام لتخفيف وقائع الردة حمايةً للبيضة. الكلمات المفتاحيّة: الزواج المختلط، التعدد الثقافي، مقاصد الشريعة، ماليزيا. Abstract Mixed marriage has become a widespread phenomenon around the globe. Due to some issues emanating from this kind of marriage which are, in most cases, contradictory to the objectives of sharia in marriage, studying this phenomenon in terms of its arising problems has become a necessity in an effort to reach the best solutions. However, mixed marriage, which holds between a man and a woman from different ethnicities, is not problematic in its essence as there is a wisdom behind the creation of humans as different nations and ethnicities. This paper aims to examine mixed marriage in Malaysia and its challenges. Using the analytical method in study this phenomenon, the study found that the Malaysian law permits a mixed marriage provided that the man wishing to marry a Malay woman is a Muslim in spite of diversity in language, educational background, and be he a Chinese or Indian. Despite its permissibility in the Malaysian law, the percentage of success of mixed marriage contract is very low, and this threatens the element, ‘perpetuation’ which is a basic principle of marriage as a life contract. Moreover, language difference, education and other factors were found to be the reasons why this kind of marriage is rarely the choice. The paper concluded that, just like other kinds of marriage, all these problems can be easily solved with mutual respect and understanding between the couple and their families without resorting to divorce. The study recommends that lawmakers and legal authorities should lay down rules and regulations governing this kind of marriage, especially pertaining to child nursing with a view to achieving the Sharia objective of protecting children (Maqsad An-Nasl), and the dignity of Muslim Women. It also recommends Islamic organization to enhance the awareness of Muslim reverts about Islam in order to minimize the occurrence of apostasy as a way of protecting the objective of religion (Maqsad Ald-Deen). Keywords: Mixed marriage, cultural diversity, Maqasid al-Shariah, Malaysia.
