General Recommendations by KARAMAH, New Cedaw Concept Paper: “Economic Consequences of Marriage and its Dissolution

“This paper is a collection of detailed comments on the proposed CEDAW General Recommendation on the Economic Consequences of Marriage and its Dissolution (The Concept Note) currently being circulated by the CEDAW Committee at the United Nations. KARAMAH hopes that its comments will facilitate a thorough critique by Muslim delegations of The Concept Note which is very significant insofar as it touches on and in some cases contravenes important Islamic jurisprudential principles.”
