Résumé
Cet article examine le cas des droits des femmes dans le mariage. Il adopte un pluralisme perspective sur le droit et les droits qui met en lumière le cadre juridique complexe dans lequel les femmes négocier le mariage. Basé sur des recherches menées dans deux villes du Malawi en 2000-2001, il se concentre sur l'interaction entre les différents types de lois et de normes relatives au mariage et examine les opportunités et contraintes rencontrées par les femmes lorsqu'elles négocient des mariages polygames. Un important aspect du cadre juridique pluriel de l'Afrique contemporaine est le concept de droits de l'homme, qui
a accompagné les processus de démocratisation. Le document attire l'attention des femmes droits sur le cadre juridique dans
Malawi.
