Summary
"This book provides an incisive and homegrown analysis of the current state of divorce law in Uganda. It documents the efforts of the Judiciary in deploying the Constitution to provide an enduring framework for the promotion of justice and rights within the institution of marriage. Proceeding from a feminist deconstruction of ideas about the family, the book provides fresh knowledge and understanding about the way in which family law can act as a tool of liberation and equality. Written by leading family law experts, the book is a valuable resource for academicians, students, legal practitioners, policy makers, civil society, administrators, and the general public to understand some of the complex issues surrounding gender justice"--Back cover.
