led to increasing dissatisfaction with traditional Islamic law of divorce since the early 20th century. Various reforms have been undertaken in an attempt to restrict the husband's right of unilateral repudiation and give women greater ability to initiate divorce. These reforms have utilized a number of methods, of which the most important are: Selection among classical juristic opinions without restriction to a single legal school (takhayyur) during state law codification Extending discretionary powers of the court Administrative measures justified with reference to the classical doctrine of siyasa shar'iyya, which authorizes the ruler to enact policies in consideration of equity and expedience Imposition of penal sanctions Modernistic interpretation of Quranic scriptures (sometimes called neo-ijtihad and feminist tafsir) Appeal to the doctrine of public interest (maslaha) According to Sulema Jahangir in Turkey, the revised Civil Code expects equal division of property and assets acquired during the marriage as the default property regime.
