Family law continues to be one of the most controversial legal areas in all Muslim-majority countries. In this book, Dörthe Engelcke explores the remarkable differences in the engagement with family law in the 2000s by Morocco and Jordan, both ostensibly similar regimes.
As the only area of law that is still commonly termed 'Islamic law', family law is one of the most sensitive and controversial legal areas in all Muslim-majority countries. Morocco and Jordan both issued new family codes in the 2000s, but there are a number of differences in the ways these two states engaged in reform. These include how the reform was carried out, the content of the new family codes, and the way the new laws are applied. Based on extensive fieldwork and rich in sources, this book examines why these two ostensibly similar semi-authoritarian regimes varied so significantly in their engagement with family law. Dörthe Engelcke demonstrates that the structure of the legal systems, shaped by colonial policies, had an effect on how reform processes were carried out as well as the content and the application of family law.

Dörthe Engelcke is a senior research fellow at the Max-Planck-Institut für ausländisches und internationales Privatrecht, Germany. She received her Ph.D. from St Antony's College, University of Oxford, in 2015 and was the co-winner of the 2016 BRISMES Leigh Douglas Memorial Prize for the best Ph.D. dissertation on a Middle Eastern topic awarded by a British University. Engelcke has held fellowships at the Islamic Legal Studies Program at Harvard Law School and the Lichtenberg-Kolleg, the Göttingen Institute of Advanced Study.
