Through an examination of criminal law, nationality law and administrative regulatory policies in Jordan, this volume demonstrates how the state uses the legal system as a tool for legitimacy, incorporating traditional social practices in order to maintain the support of certain elements of society while at the same time taking measures that counter traditional practices and extend new rights and roles to women.
