About the author

Jamal J. Nasir, BA (Hons), Ph.D. (London) has maintained close contact with his roots in Arabism and Islam while spending many years in practice in the UK, Europe and the States. He has also practiced in many Arab States, being a member of the Jordan and other Arab Bars. The author was formerly Minister of Justice in Jordan, and acting Foreign Minister, where he supervised a radical re-organisation of the Judiciary. This experience provided him with a rare insight into the working and application of the Sharia Law and modern Arab legislation on various aspects of Arab laws. The author has had a number of books published previously, as well as many legal and political articles in international journals. This book particularly supplements an earlier study by the author entitled The Islamic Law of Personal Status which has already become the authoritative textbook in the English language on this important subject, and a reliable reference book for many courts around the world. The author is also legal adviser to several Arab Embassies in London.
