Excerpt

In a way, parental care regimes in contemporary Muslim jurisdictions1 lead a double life. On the one hand, they are firmly rooted in traditional Islamic legal doctrine in that they usually divide parenting functions into custody (ḥaḍāna) and guardianship (wilāya) and identify the former with the mother and the latter with the father. On the other hand, they have proven fairly flexible in recent decades and have witnessed some far-reaching reforms aimed at bringing family law in line with the evolving regulatory needs of society.

Fußnoten
1
Throughout this contribution the terms ‘Muslim jurisdictions’ and ‘Muslim countries’ are defined as states with legislation reflecting or inspired by Islamic law. The term does not necessarily denote whether a particular country is composed of a majority or minority Muslim population or whether its self-image is that of a ‘Muslim state/country’.

This is also illustrated by the existence of two so-called ‘model codes’, namely the Draft Unified Arab Law of Personal Status, prepared by the Arab League, and the Draft Law of Personal Status, issued by the Gulf Cooperation Council.

In Egypt, it is only under special circumstances that the best interests of the child serves as the paramount principle for awarding custody. As illustrated in Jasmine Moussa’s chapter on Egypt, since 2000 the public prosecutor, but not the family court judge, has been authorized to carry out an investigation into the best interests of the child in order to grant interim custody to one of the disputing parents in advance of the final family court ruling resolving the matter.

The practice of bartering parts of or the entire dower for the custody of the children is recognized by Iranian courts and sanctioned by the Legal Office of the Ministry of Justice, see statement no. 7/6664 of 10 October 2002, in Riyasat-i Jumhuri (2011) Majmuʻih-i Qanun-i Madani, 8th edn., Muʻavinat-i Tadvin-i Tanqih va Intisharat-i Qavanin va Muqarrarat, Tehran, Article 1169 Iran.

Sabbagh 1969‐1970, p. 63, who points to a 1966 Communiqué of the Tunisian Ministry of Justice that describes this situation, i.e. a renouncement of compensation in order to obtain custody, as one of the main reasons for lifting Islamic law’s strict age and gender boundaries in custody matters.

However in some jurisdictions, courts have taken into account the remarriage of the father as a factor amongst others not to award him custody (as in Jordan for example).

The Iranian law does not use the word ‘adoption’ but the expression ‘sarparastī’. It has been argued in Yassari 2015, pp. 927–962, that under a functional perspective the sarparastī of orphaned children amounts to a functional equivalent to adoption.
