Emilie Biland's book, "Family Law in Action: Divorce and Inequality in Quebec and France," examines the role of law and its institutions in perpetuating inequalities in contemporary societies. Biland compares the divorce and separation processes in Quebec and France, highlighting similarities and differences in how these systems manage inequalities. The book argues that despite advancements in women's rights and the emphasis on individual responsibility in intimate relationships, family law systems continue to contribute to class and gender inequalities. The analysis reveals that unequal access to the law and justice, interactions with judges and lawyers, and post-separation regulation all contribute to these inequalities. While the book does not provide specific solutions, it offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary account of the problem of inequality within family law systems. [Extracted from the article]
