Summary/Abstract: Although there is recent literature in domestic historical and legal literature on the issue of the application of Sharia law, Islamic reformism and customs as an auxiliary source of sharia law in Bosnia and Herzegovina, we believe that there is a need for these issues from the perspective of women's historical experience. This paper has modest pretensions to alleviate the void that generally exists when it comes to the visibility of women in domestic historiography. Starting from the historical fact that Sharia law, in greater or lesser form, was part of a positive law in Bosnia and Herzegovina from the establishment of the Ottoman authorities to the end the Second World War, in this paper theoretically the issue of occurrence of Islamic reformism with a special emphasis on changes that treat the social position of women is dealt with. Exposed to the European / Western influences during the Austro-Hungarian administration, Bosnian Muslims were faced with the need to critically review religious practice and practice and adapt them to new social and political demands. In this paper we will try to point out some aspects of Islamic reformism in Bosnia and Herzegovina and its immediate implications for the position of women in terms of standardizing the family and marital relations of Muslims using the archives of the Archives of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Committee of the Islamic Community Cazin.
