Abstract

Footnotes 2 In Islam, for example, the Ijma or Moslem consensus is recognized as helping to interpret the Qur'an and Sunna or tradition. 3 The respective roles of the two factors may, of course, vary considerably; in the present Protestant consensus on responsible parenthood, the regulation of fertility within the community developed for a full half century before official church statements began to elaborate the present position. Cf. Fagley , R.M. , A Protestant View of Population Control , Law and Contemporary Problems , Vol. XXV , No. 3 , p. 472 f . Durham, N.C. (1961). 1 Cf. C handrasekaran , C., Cultural Patterns in Relation to Family Planning in India , Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Planned Parenthood, Bombay (1952); the author points out that ritual abstinence related to menstruation tends to have the opposite effect, a point also noted in regard to the Judaic regulation in Leviticus 15. 19. 2 T homas , P., Hindu Religion, Customs and Manners , p. 87, Bombay (1947). 3 p rabhu , P.
