Dr. Nadia Sonneveld

Dr. Nadia Sonneveld has an academic background in anthropology, Arabic, and Law. She comes from the Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands, and is an internationally recognised expert in Muslim family law. She has conducted extensive research in Egypt on the introduction and implementation of a shari'a-based divorce reform. In Morocco, her work focuses on the question as to whether women judges differ from male judges in the way they apply the Mudawanna family law reform of 2004. Generally, the common denominator in all her research activities is the focus on shari'a as a lived and contested reality that must be studied against the black letter of state codified Islamic law. Previously she was a guest scholar at the School of Oriental Studies (SOAS) in London and Al-Akhawayn University in Ifrane, Morocco. She is the author of Khul' Divorce in Egypt: Public Debates, Judicial Practices, and Everyday Life (2012)
