In this article I will identify and discuss the interpretational assumptions of two contemporary interpretational approaches to the interpretation of the Qur’a>n and Sunna that I refer to as premodern and critical progressive and explain their interpretational assumptions and implications. I will then discuss how these differences in interpretational mechanisms result in very different interpretations of verses to Qur’anic pertaining to husband’s unilateral right to divorce.
