International Family Law - Islamic Law in International Family Matters

International Family Law examines how family law disputes are handled across different legal systems, cultures, and jurisdictions. Through in-depth conversations with leading international practitioners, the series explores forum selection, property and support regimes, child custody, enforcement challenges, and conflicts of law, with each discussion grounded in practical comparisons to California family law.

In this episode, practitioners discuss the intersection of Islamic law and international family law across the UK, U.S., and Middle East. The conversation covers marriage, divorce, financial remedies, child-related issues, conflicts of law, and cross-border enforcement challenges. A moderator structures cross-cultural comparisons, clarifies conflicts between religious and secular legal systems, and frames complex issues for international family law practitioners.
