The anthology "Filiation and the Protection
of Parentless Children: Towards a Social Definition of the Family in
Muslim Jurisdictions" (The Hague: T.M.C. Asser Press, 2019) by Nadjma
Yassari, Lena-Maria Möller, and Marie-Claude Najm (eds.) is the first
publication to examine filiation and the care of parentless children in
eleven Muslim jurisdictions from both a country-specific and a
comparative perspective, including analyses of premodern Sunni and Shiʿi
legal positions as well as that of contemporary Arab private
international law regimes.
The book launch will take place as part of the 26th
International DAVO Congress and is hosted by the co-editors Nadjma
Yassari and Lena-Maria Möller. It will include presentations from
selected country rapporteurs involved in the project as well as an
introduction by Professor Irene Schneider (University of Göttingen).
While participation in the 26th International DAVO Congress requires prior registration (more info here: https://www.aai.uni-hamburg.de/en/voror/veranstaltungen/2019-davokongress/20-anmeldung.html), the book launch itself is open to the public.
