The traditional libraries of manuscripts in the region of Tuat in the south of Algeria
consist of many manuscripts of jurisprudential Nawazil of the 12th century Hegira (18th century
AD), among which: "Nawazil al-Ghunniyaal-Belbalya", in addition to Nawazil al-Zejlawi, Nawazil
al-Jenturi, and others. These Nawazil are considered as one of the important sources of social
history, as they provide a clear and real image on the different aspects of society. Also, the Nawazil
treat real events which actually happened and raised to the court to be dealt with, and not fiction.
This explains the orientalists’ interest in the Nawazil, in their studies. Amongst the social issues
treated in the TuwatiNawazil the family life including marriage, divorce, raising children and
alimony. They also contain a lot of signs related to the status and role of women in society during
that period |
