Gender hierarchy in the Qur'an : medieval interpretations, modern responses - Bauer, Karen (New York : Cambridge University Press, 2015)
'This book explores how medieval and modern Muslim religious scholars ('ulama') interpret gender roles in Qur'anic verses on legal testimony, marriage, and human creation. Citing these verses, medieval scholars developed increasingly complex laws and interpretations upholding a male-dominated gender hierarchy; aspects of their interpretations influence religious norms and state laws in Muslim-majority countries
