Pulling The Trigger: Separation Violence As The Basis For Battered Women, Marisa Cianciarulo, Dr. Cladia David
Pulling The Trigger: Separation Violence As The Basis For Battered Women, Marisa Cianciarulo, Dr. Cladia David
Marisa S. Cianciarulo
Maria Elena fears for her life. For years she has lived under the rule of a despot intent on maintaining absolute control of his realm. As a member of a historically oppressed tribe with few political rights, Maria Elena is a prime target for the dictator’s calculated methods of maintaining control. He has randomly imprisoned, tortured, beaten, and threatened to kill Maria Elena over a period of several years. The torture is worse when Maria Elena takes any action that challenges the despot’s absolute authority.
In this scenario, the classic refugee described above would apply for refugee protection in the …
A Commentary On The Old Saw That Same-Sex Marriage Threatens Civilization, Ronald L. Steiner
A Commentary On The Old Saw That Same-Sex Marriage Threatens Civilization, Ronald L. Steiner
Ronald L. Steiner
Discussions of same-sex marriage frequently entertain the notion that civilization is somehow at stake were a society to award legal sanction to it, and to gay rights more generally. Typically, those who express concern for negative civilizational consequences have in mind Western civilization, and more specifically Christian civilization. This civilizational concern will often be amplified by the implication that opposite-sex, or opposite-sex monogamous marriage is a timeless human universal. Any other marital regime is presumed to be an aberration, most likely the result of grave moral depravity of a sort supposedly facilitated by the modern rights-based society. This chapter subjects …
The Debt Financing Of Parenthood, Melissa B. Jacoby
The Debt Financing Of Parenthood, Melissa B. Jacoby
Melissa B. Jacoby
In this contribution to the symposium Show Me the Money: Making Markets in Forbidden Exchange, I explore an under-appreciated participant in the assisted reproduction and adoption industries: consumer lenders. Through fertility clinics and other service providers, financial institutions market and distribute loans specifically to finance acquisition of treatments, drugs, and human eggs. Adoption foundations and agencies advertise for-profit loans to intended parents, while small foundations offer adoption loans that appear to be low-cost financially but may condition loan approval on intended parent characteristics such as religious observance, marital status, sexual orientation, and adherence to traditional gender roles. After discussing how …
Lgbt Elder Law: Toward Equity In Aging, Nancy J. Knauer
Lgbt Elder Law: Toward Equity In Aging, Nancy J. Knauer
Nancy J. Knauer
At a time when LGBT individuals enjoy an unprecedented degree of social acceptance and legal protection, many LGBT elders face the daily challenges of aging isolated from family, detached from the larger LGBT community, and ignored by mainstream aging initiatives. The corrosive legacy of the pre-Stonewall views of homosexuality makes many LGBT elders reluctant to declare themselves and demand equal treatment from policy makers and health care providers. As a result, they are denied the basic dignity of being able to share their memories of a life well lived without fear of rejection and reprisal. The concerns of LGBT elders …

Reframing The Response: Girls In The Juvenile Justice System And Domestic Violence, Francine Sherman
Reframing The Response: Girls In The Juvenile Justice System And Domestic Violence, Francine Sherman
Francine T. Sherman
This article provides an overview of the role gender plays in juvenile justice processing. It reviews national data on girls’ arrest patterns and links those patterns to girls’ underlying needs and trauma histories. The article then focuses on the increase in arrests of girls for domestic assaults and describes the experience of Washoe County, Nevada, where girls were detained disproportionately for domestic battery as a result of a mandatory detention law. The article goes on to describe Nevada’s successful effort to amend that law to increase discretion and mandate family services and the resulting improvements in services to girls experiencing …

The Rights Of Women And Role Of Superior Judiciary In Pakistan With Special Reference To Family Law Case From 2004-2008, Muhammad Munir Dr.
Dr. Muhammad Munir
Granting and protecting the rights of women in the domain of family law remains one of the most important areas of legislation in Pakistan. The role of judiciary is vital to ensure that the rights of women are protected because decisions of the superior judiciary are binding on the lower courts under the doctrine of precedent. This work focuses on cases decided by the superior judiciary in Pakistan over the period of five years to know the various remedies sought by helpless women. This article finds that legislation in the area of family law protects women to a greater degree …
