“…Many studies on contemporary Arab societies reveal the prevalence of the advancement of women, enhancement of their capabilities, and their increased access to education, employment, and public participation (Al-Mughni, 2010;Economic & Social Commission for Western Asia, 2004;Fayeq, 2001).

This study explores the sociocultural status of Kuwaiti women and examines the obstacles that may hinder them from participating in socioeconomic development of Kuwait. The study analyzes the nature of legislative, political, sociocultural, and economic challenges faced by Kuwaiti women and suggests measures to overcome these obstacles to help women in attaining a prime role in the development process. The survey sample included 300 Kuwaiti citizens of both genders selected randomly from different social and professional backgrounds. Statistical analyses including mean values and covariance analysis revealed the awareness of gender-based differences in attitudes on the nature of constraints faced in moving toward the progress of Kuwaiti women. Discussed are social, economic, and knowledge-based constraints that restrain women from playing an active role in the socioeconomic development of Kuwait. Future directions include the acknowledgement of increased levels of education among Kuwaiti women and the available talent pool that will remain underutilized if women are not raised to leadership levels. Further research is needed on the scope and challenges in implementing strategies for the empowerment of women as a part of legislation.

“…Still, male prepubescent marriage is only addressed as a portion of a chapter the focus of which is whether or not the insane male can have his marriage contracted for him by his father. 177 By the time of the Shāfi'ī Ibn 'Abd al-Raḥmān (d. c. 780/ 1398), there is no mention of the father's power of compulsion over his sons whatsoever, or even a concept of "tazwīj al-ṣaghīr", although he gives a good deal of attention to the marriage of virgins without their consent. 178 when it comes to compulsion.…”

In the Hanbalī fiqh manual the Mughnī, Ibn Qudāmah (d. 620/1223) claims consensus (ijmā') of the scholars of Islamic Law regarding a father's ability to compel his prepubescent daughter to marry against her will, provided it is to a suitable match. This paper explores Ibn Qudāmah's claim by investigating the contours of consensus-writing on child marriage. It looks first to the primary transmitter of early consensus (Ibn al-Mundhir, d. 318/930)-who is cited as a source of consensus throughout al-Mughnī-then at three other writers who focused on Ijmā' (al-Marwazī (294/906), al-Ṭaḥāwī (321/933), and

This paper seeks to divide three patterns of youth life cycle into immanent pattern, dialectic pattern and creative pattern of youth life. Immanent pattern refers to submission to both bio characteristics and to negativity of his social roles. Dialectic pattern refers to the youth's ability to make balance between his biological and social needs. Creative youth refers to who have a continuous state of dissatisfaction about their reality which lead to reform the cycle of life. This study attempts to understand the interactive relationship between creative youth and their sort of life. On the other hand this paper will examine the nature of both cultural and social background where they belongs and the sort of social and political challenges. It is concluded that great deal of youth especially women who live in rural areas are submitted to immanent pattern whose aspects are anxiety, and exaggeration of religious behavior.
