Frequently Asked Questions
Which law governs personal status cases?
They are governed by the Personal Status Law issued in 1443 AH, which regulates marriage, divorce, khul’, maintenance, custody, wills and related matters.
Can custody and maintenance be agreed amicably?
Yes. The agreement can be documented and approved, while the best interests of the child remain the basis of every decision on custody.
