"This essay explores gender issues in the contemporary application of Islamic\r\nlaw in the Muslim majority-states of northern Nigeria. Brief political\r\nbackground helps to explain the shari> ‘a codes enacted by the legislatures\r\nof the states, drawing largely from the classical formulations of Maliki\r\nschool of Islamic law. Women were among the first to be prosecuted and\r\nsentenced to death by stoning for the offence of zina> . To provide effective\r\nlegal defense for the accused women, their lawyers and activists for women\r\nhuman rights had to argue in Islamic law before they could convince Shari> ‘a\r\nCourts of Appeal to overturn the sentences of death by stoning and set the\r\nwomen free. In the process, women activists learned a lot about the classical\r\nformulations of Maliki school of Islamic law, where they discovered the\r\nrich flexibility of Islamic thought, and that has empowered them to\r\narticulate Islamic criticisms against gender bias in the recently enacted shari> ‘a\r\ncodes."^^ .
