SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book builds a case for Muslim same-sex unions for the fulfillment of gay and lesbian Muslims' human need for intimacy, affection, and companionship. In constructing this case, the book extensively engages with the Muslim tradition, drawing on the Qur'an, Hadith, and jurisprudence as well as contemporary scholarship.
