Abstract

This paper defends a critical view about the so called “new legal pluralism”. It begins byplacing this concept in an historical perspective, and then analyzing feminist arguments forthe “transformative accommodation” of religious diversity in the form of status based legalpluralism. The author’s contribution is not only the assessing of the flaws in the legal pluralistsolution, but also the offering of a different model of transformative accommodation that restson a mix of legal approaches to the problems faced by religious women in a constitutional democracy.
