Between Church and State
In most Middle Eastern jurisdictions, the applicable family law is determined based on the religious affiliation of the parties involved. Whereas Jordanian Islamic family law has last been reformed in 2001, 2010, and 2019, and the law that regulates the shariʿa courts has been amended several times since 1972, the family laws of Christian communities and the church courts have largely been exempted from this reform dynamic. Based on semi-structur…
Reforming Family Law
Establishing Filiation ( Nasab ) and the Placement of Destitute Children Into New Families
The article comparatively maps state involvement in the establishment of filiation and the placement of destitute children into new families. It first reports findings from an expert survey that investigates four key areas of state involvement—the legal framework, the role of courts and ministries, guardianship regulations, and financial support and services for destitute children—across fourteen jurisdictions, twelve Muslim-majority countries, a…
Child Law in Muslim Jurisdictions
and the Universit Saint-Joseph in Beirut, Lebanon, November 8-10, 2017. This was the second workshop of the Max Planck Working Group on Child Law in Muslim Countries, a community of scholars of law, Islamic studies, anthropology, and history that has come together to revisit the concepts of family, children's rights, and parenthood in Muslim and Middle Eastern jurisdictions

The dāʾirat qāḍī al-quḍāt , the Supreme Justice Department (SJD), is a state institution that enjoys considerable autonomy in overseeing the sharīʿa courts that apply Islamic family law. As the Jordani…
Interpreting the 2004 Moroccan Family Law
A decade after celebrating Morocco's 2004 family law as a social revolution, women's groups became dismayed by the persistence of minor marriage, polygyny, and marriage guardianship. Conventional explanations for why statutory law reform often fails to produce intended outcomes depart from the concept of the homogeneous state, pointing to insufficient enforcement mechanisms and cultural resistance to the new law within society. Arguing against th…
