本文重点介绍了英国非异性恋穆斯林管理家庭和亲属关系的重要时刻，战略和主题。重要的社会文化和宗教因素构成了他们谈判这种关系的框架。这些因素是：基于各种伊斯兰书面来源的对非异性恋（特别是同性恋）的严格宗教谴责，同性恋作为“西方疾病”的普遍文化谴责，婚姻作为文化和宗教义务的期望，对父母的尊重，以及维护家庭荣誉（izzat），特别是在紧密的亲属关系网络中。这些因素对参与者的反应和经历有重要影响，也反映了这一宗教和少数民族在英国社会中的社会地位。具体而言，与会者强调了在平衡个人主义（即性表达）和社会宗教义务方面保密、沉默和自由裁量权的复杂性。总的来说，这些数据表明了结构和机构之间错综复杂的相互关系，以及身份和社会关系的生产和管理的文化嵌入性。
This paper highlights significant moments, strategies, and themes in British non-heterosexual Muslims' management of familial and kin relations. Significant socio-cultural and religious factors constitute the framework within which they negotiate such relations. These factors are: the strict religious censure of non-heterosexuality (specifically homosexuality) based on various Islamic written sources, the pervasive cultural censure of homosexuality as a ‘western disease’, the expectation of marriage as a cultural and religious obligation, the respect for parents, and the maintenance of family honour (izzat) particularly in the close-knit kinship network. These factors, which significantly inform the participants' responses and experiences, also reflect the social position of this religious and ethnic minority in British society. Specifically, the participants highlighted the complexity of secrecy, silence and discretion in balancing individualism (ie expression of sexuality) and socio-religious obligations. In general, the data demonstrate the intricate inter-relatedness of structure and agency, and the cultural embeddedness of the production and management of identity and social relations.
