Muslim woman's resources in resolving family conflicts

Abstract

Islamic values influence the choice of behaviors within Muslim families. The regulation of marital relations involves the use by spouses of canonical sources, the legal system, faith resources designed to stabilize relations. Conflict, as part of family life, can significantly affect the well-being and future of family members. The social significance of the conflict also depends on the ability of a Muslim woman to choose internal and external sources for resolving the conflict. Studying the practices used by a Muslim woman to resolve conflicts in the family, the causes of conflicts, her attitude to conflicts will improve mechanisms for promoting cooperation between family members in situations of protracted and acute contradictions. An analysis of the forms of support for Muslim women in conflict covered on the Muslim website will reveal the institutional framework in which she is invited to act to resolve the conflict. It is concluded that along with personal resources of faith and classical Islamic forms of assistance in conflict, the Muslim woman uses private, not religiously motivated practices. Actualization when dealing with the conflict of a complex gender identity based on the Quran can have multilevel consequences. The spouse's ideas about gender hierarchy, as an integral part of the Muslim tradition, are used by her selectively and situationally, at the same time, these scenarios, if responsibly observed, can compensate for the actions of social changes that threaten the integrity of the personality of a Muslim woman, Muslim family and ummah.
