Recht en rechtspraak in Nederlands-Indië /
:
In Recht en rechtspraak in Nederlands-Indië wordt een overzicht verschaft van het ingewikkelde rechtsstelsel van Nederlands-Indië, zoals dat van 1848 tot 1950 functioneerde, en dat voor een groot deel is overgenomen door de Republiek Indonesia. Tot nu toe bestond zo'n beknopt overzicht niet. Het is bedoeld voor hen, die voor het eerst kennis maken met het recht van Nederlands-Indië en behoefte hebben aan een overzicht van de hoofdlijnen van het stelsel en de belangrijkste rechterlijke instellingen. Het is geschreven voor (rechts) historici, antropologen en andere geïnteresseerden in het Nederlands-Indische rechtsstelsel. Recht en rechtspraak in Nederlands-Indië is een bewerking van een inleiding geschreven voor het boek Nederlands-Indische jurisprudentie: Register op de geannoteerde rechtspraak in het "Indisch Tijdschrift van het Recht" (1949-1950) en de "Mededelingen van het Documentatiebureau voor Overzees Recht" (1950-1958) . Dit boekje kwam tot stand naar aanleiding van een opdracht voor een documentatieproject dat voor de Nederlandse Raad voor Juridische Samenwerking met Indonesië te Leiden werd uitgevoerd door het Van Vollenhoven Instituut van Rijksuniversiteit te Leiden.

Women and property rights in Indonesian Islamic legal contexts
:
In Women and Property Rights in Indonesian Islamic Contexts , eight scholars of Indonesian Islam examine women's access to property in law courts and in village settings. The authors draw on fieldwork from across the archipelago to analyse how judges and ordinary people apply interpretations of law, religion, and gender in deliberating and deciding in property disputes that arise at moments of marriage, divorce, and death. The chapters go beyond the world of legal and scriptural texts to ask how women in fact fare in these contexts. Women's capabilities and resources in Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim society and one with distinctive traditions of legal and social life, provides a critical knowledge base for advancing our understanding of the social life of Islamic law. Contributors: Nanda Amalia, John R. Bowen, Tutik Hamidah, Abidin Nurdin, Euis Nurlaelawati, Arskal Salim, Rosmah Tami andamp; Atun Wardatun.
