      abstract = {For the first time, the author has explored the  intertwinement of written law, Islamic law, and customary  law in the highly complex Afghan society, being deeply  influenced by traditional cultural and religious  convictions. Given these facts, the author explores how to  bridge the exigencies of a human rights-driven penal law  and conflicting social norms and understandings by using  the rich tradition of Islamic law and its possible openness  for contemporary rule of law standards. This work is based  on ample field research in connection with a thorough  analysis of the normative contexts. It is a landmark, since  it offers broadly acceptable and thus feasible solutions  for the Afghan legal practice. The book is of equal  interest for scientists and practitioners interested in  legal, religious, social, and political developments  concerning human rights and regional traditions in the MENA  region, in Afghanistan in particular.},
