Issaka, Fulera Tayob, Abdulkader Shaikh, Sa'diyya Religious Studies Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references. This thesis sets out to investigate Muslim women’s marital experiences in Accra, Ghana, West Africa. In particular, these experiences had to do with negotiating marriage and divorce. It included the broad marital relations like decision-making, roles and responsibilities, and the management and responses of marital disputes and abuse. I used a qualitative method in this research. I interviewed twelve Muslim women in Accra who provided me with their perspectives, experiences and responses of socio-religious norms concerning gender roles. In addition, they shared their experiences and perspectives on wife abuse and their consequent reactions and management of wife abuse. 2015-01-11T05:00:47Z 2015-01-11T05:00:47Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MSocSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12058 eng application/pdf Department of Religious Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
