Résumé

This article explores the socio-economic changes that occurred in Muslim societies from the late 18th, 19th to the 20th centuries and how these changes contributed to the reformation of Shari‘a Law. The focus of this article will be on Omani society in the 20th century but prior to 1970. The main question that I attempt to answer is how Oman has reacted to modern change in the 20th century. I argue that although reform is an important phenomena in Islamic law, and many Muslim societies have experienced legal changes towards equality within the Shari‘a Family Law, Oman has remained distant from such changes.
