About the speaker:
Dr. Ahmed Rabie, a renowned scholar in comparative civil law, international humanitarian law, and contemporary Islamic law, is a prominent figure in academia, research, and humanitarian efforts.
About the topic:
The Egyptian Constitution, influenced by Hanafi jurisprudence, is based on Islamic law, with family law being influenced by sharia approaches. However, the gap between official laws and local traditions, such as marriage and divorce, can lead to negative outcomes. Dr. Ahmed Rabie suggests that legal amendments should consider community norms and customs to ensure practicality and avoid contradictory outcomes.
Legislators must consider traditions and customs when addressing marriage and divorce practices, despite external pressures, to ensure they align legislative objectives with actual practices and respect the sacred nature of these matters.
