“Transformative accommodation,” one of the most influential models proposed and debated in multiculturalist literature, is designed to strike a fine-tuned balance between minority community culture and the rights of its most vulnerable constituents. This article seeks to challenge the model’s theoretical premises and predictive normative outputs. Drawing on a novel empirical case study—the adjudication of Palestinian-Muslim wife maintenance suits in both Israel’s sharia courts as well as its civil family courts—we contend that multicultural transformation is a bidirectional process. That is, the complex encounter between liberal normativity and indigenous-religious normativity may bring about transformation not only in the minority community’s nomos, as the model envisions, but also in both normative legal systems. The article concludes with an analytical discussion aiming to transform transformative accommodation such that the model may indeed live up to its ambitious multiculturalist goals.

变革“变革性住宿”：巴勒斯坦穆斯林妇女赡养服案例研究

“变革性包容”是多元文化主义文献中提出和争论的最有影响力的模式之一，旨在在少数群体文化与其最弱势群体的权利之间取得微调的平衡。本文旨在挑战该模型的理论前提和预测规范输出。根据一项新颖的实证案例研究——以色列伊斯兰教法院及其民事家庭法院对巴勒斯坦穆斯林妻子赡养费诉讼的裁决——我们认为多元文化转型是一个双向过程。也就是说，自由主义规范性与本土宗教规范性之间的复杂相遇可能不仅会像模型所设想的那样，在少数群体的规范中带来转变，而且还会在两个规范性法律体系中带来转变。文章最后进行了分析讨论，旨在改变变革性住宿，使该模式确实能够实现其雄心勃勃的多元文化主义目标。
