“…Recourse to civil marriage can also be more instrumental, as in the case of “mixed” unions, which are legally problematic within the constraints of religious law (Weber 2008:23–26): The marriage of a Christian man to a Muslim woman, for example, is firmly forbidden under Islamic precepts. Those without the money or the wherewithal to obtain the requisite travel documents to marry outside Lebanon have another resource: change religious affiliation.…”

In this article, I present ethnography of judicial practice in Lebanon's shari'a courts and find a tension between the identity of the judges presiding as Islamic religious specialists and their identity as legal professionals. Just applying the rules of the law is incompatible with true religious vocation, which demands personal engagement with the morally needy. But to ignore legal strictures is to be dismissed as a mere sermonizer. I find this case illustrative of a deeper tension between the use of rules and the disciplining of virtuous selves and argue for a new anthropology of rules to set alongside the new anthropology of ethics.

L’arrangement du mariage dans la communauté sunnite de Beyrouth signifie que les époux sont l’objet de négociations entre deux familles qui s’accordent sur les termes d’un échange. Partant des aspects spectaculaires de la cérémonie de mariage, nous nous intéressons dans cet article à deux dimensions de l’arrangement : les objets qui y circulent, et la place des époux dans le dispositif et dans la transaction. Le cadrage et la mise en scène renvoient en fin de compte à la communauté d’appartenance, quand les objets et les personnes qui se donnent à voir s’inscrivent dans une généalogie qui en fait les porteurs ou les représentants d’un patrimoine commun.
