Iranian Family and Succession Laws and Their Application in German Courts by Jürgen Basedow,Nadjma Yassari Pdf

The Iranian legal system is not well known in the West and many clichés persist, clichés and prejudices that have increased since the "clash of civilizations" has been conjured up. A fresh encounter and an open dialogue between Islamic and Western professionals are badly needed and are offered in this book. Iran's family law has not been static in recent years: the dower has been adapted to the inflation rate; a compensatory claim for repudiated women as well as the concept of best interest of the child in custody law has been introduced. Today Islamic scholars are questioning the unilateral right of the husband to repudiate his wife and the unequal inheritance shares for men and women. Furthermore questions on the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are raised and a list of suggestions offered to foster the co-operation between Iran and Germany.Contributors:Jürgen Basedow, Dagmar Coester-Waltjen, Mathias Rohe, Nadjma Yassari, Seyyed Mostafa Mohaqeq Damad, Hossein Safa’i, Hassan Hamidian, Hossein Mehrpour, Reza Valavioun, Mansour Pournouri, Wolfgang Wurmnest

Family and Succession Law in Germany by Peter Gottwald,Dieter Schwab,Eva Büttner Pdf

For a concise exposition and analysis of the essential elements of German law with regard to family relations, marital property, and succession to estates, this very useful volume has no peers. It covers the sources and instruments of family and succession law as practiced in Germany, the courts that adjudicate and administer the laws, and issues surrounding the person as a legal entity (especially in relation to consent) and the legal disposition of property among family members. The legal aspects of such matters as nationality, domicile, and residence; marriage, divorce, and cohabitation; adoption and guardianship; intestate and testamentary succession and inter vivos arrangements; and the acquisition and administration of estates are all treated to a degree of depth that will prove useful in nearly any situation likely to arise in legal practice. This valuable work will be welcomed by notaries, lawyers, judges, and registrars of civil status who find themselves having to apply German law as a result of applicable law rules of international private law. However, it is also of great value to students and practitioners as a quick guide and easy-to-use practical resource in the field.

Legal Practice and Cultural Diversity by Ralph Grillo,Roger Ballard,Alessandro Ferrari,André J. Hoekema,Marcel Maussen,Prakash Shah Pdf

Legal Practice and Cultural Diversity considers how contemporary cultural and religious diversity challenges legal practice, how legal practice responds to that challenge, and how practice is changing in the encounter with the cultural diversity occasioned by large-scale, post-war immigration. Locating actual practices and interpretations which occur in jurisprudence and in public discussion, this volume examines how the wider environment shapes legal processes and is in turn shaped by them. In so doing, the work foregrounds a number of themes principally relating to changing norms and practices and sensitivity to cultural and religious difference in the application of the law. Comparative in approach, this study places particular cases in their widest context, taking into account international and transnational influences on the way in which actors, legal and other, respond.

Islamic Law in Europe? by Andrea Büchler Pdf

Cultural and religious identity and family law are inter-related in a number of ways and raise various complex issues. European legal systems have taken various approaches to meeting these challenges. This book examines this complexity and indicates areas in which conflicts may arise by analysing examples from legislation and court decisions in Germany, Switzerland, France, England and Spain. It includes questions of private international law, comments on the various degrees of consideration accorded to cultural identity within substantive family law, and remarks on models of legal pluralism and the dangers that go along with them. It concludes with an evaluation of approaches which are process-based rather than institution-based. The book will be of interest to legal professionals, family law students and scholars concerned with legal pluralism.

The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Law by Mathias Reimann,Reinhard Zimmermann Pdf

This fully revised and updated second edition of The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Law provides a wide-ranging and diverse critical survey of comparative law at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It summarizes and evaluates a discipline that is time-honoured but not easily understood in all its dimensions. In the current era of globalization, this discipline is more relevant than ever, both on the academic and on the practical level. The Handbook is divided into three main sections. Section I surveys how comparative law has developed and where it stands today in various parts of the world. This includes not only traditional model jurisdictions, such as France, Germany, and the United States, but also other regions like Eastern Europe, East Asia, and Latin America. Section II then discusses the major approaches to comparative law - its methods, goals, and its relationship with other fields, such as legal history, economics, and linguistics. Finally, section III deals with the status of comparative studies in over a dozen subject matter areas, including the major categories of private, economic, public, and criminal law. The Handbook contains forty-eight chapters written by experts from around the world. The aim of each chapter is to provide an accessible, original, and critical account of the current state of comparative law in its respective area which will help to shape the agenda in the years to come. Each chapter also includes a short bibliography referencing the definitive works in the field.

Women and Equality in Iran by Leila Alikarami Pdf

Iran's continued retention of discriminatory laws stands in stark contrast to the advances Iranian women have made in other spheres since the Revolution in 1979. Leila Alikarami here aims to determine the extent to which the actions of women's rights activists have led to a significant change in their legal status. She argues that while Iranian women have not yet obtained legal equality, the gender bias of the Iranian legal system has been successfully challenged and has lost its legitimacy. More pertinently, the social context has become more prepared to accommodate legal rights for women. Highlighting the key challenges that proponents of gender equality face in the Muslim context, Alikarami attempts to ascertain the causes of Iran's failure to ratify the CEDAW and questions whether and to what extent interpretations of Islamic principles prevent Iran from doing so. Applying feminist legal theory to contemporary Iran, Alikarami's approach re-evaluates the underlying principles that have shaped the struggle for equal rights between the sexes.

Japanese and European Private International Law in Comparative Perspective by Jürgen Basedow,Harald Baum,Yuko Nishitani,Max-Planck-Institut für Ausländisches und Internationales Privatrecht Pdf

The idea of national codification is advancing on a global scale in conflict of laws. A large number of legislative projects dealing with codifying and modernizing private international law, both on the national and the supranational level, have been launched in the past few years. Among such recent initiatives, the advances taken by the European and the Japanese legislators are particularly reflecting these developments. On January 1, 2007, the new Japanese 'Act on General Rules for Application of Laws' entered into force replacing the outdated conflict of laws statute of 1898. This major reform finds its parallels in the current efforts of the European Union to create a modern private international law regime for its member states.This volume presents the first comprehensive analysis of the new Japanese private international law available in any western language and contrasts it with corresponding European developments. Most of the contributors from Japan are scholars who were actively involved in and responsible for preparing the new Act. All of them are renowned experts in the field of private international law. Leading European experts in the conflict of laws supplement the Japanese analyses with comparative contributions reflecting the pertinent discussion of parallel endeavours in the EU. To guarantee better understanding, English translations of both the present and the former Japanese statutes have been added.

A New Anthropology of Islam by John R. Bowen Pdf

In this powerful, but accessible new study, John Bowen draws on a full range of work in social anthropology to present Islam in ways that emphasise its constitutive practices, from praying and learning to judging and political organising. Starting at the heart of Islam - revelation and learning in Arabic lands - Bowen shows how Muslims have adapted Islamic texts and traditions to ideas and conditions in the societies in which they live. Returning to key case studies in Asia, Africa and Western Europe, to explore each major domain of Islamic religious and social life, Bowen also considers the theoretical advances in social anthropology that have come out of the study of Islam. A New Anthropology of Islam is essential reading for all those interested in the study of Islam and for those following new developments in the discipline of anthropology.
