The Jewish Family: Between Family Law and Contract Law examines Jewish family law in the light of new attitudes concerning the role of women, assisted reproduction technologies, and prenuptial agreements. It will appeal to practitioners, activists, academic researchers and laymen readers interested in the fields of law, theology and social science.

This book deals with the nexus of modern contract and family law for resolving the various dilemmas that have surfaced. It explores whether and to what extent there is room, legally and ethically, for the use of modern contractual devices and doctrines to privately regulate the establishment of legal parentage.
