Book Launch

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.

Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
