Avizandum Statutes on Scots Family Law

Esin Örücü

To what extent does family law accommodate, deny, support, or reflect the existence of religion and religious belief in a range of jurisdictions throughout various family and social situations? This collection of comparative essays brings together reflections on a range of religions, including Islam, Judaism, and Roman Catholicism. With insights from various European jurisdictions - such as Malta, Sweden, Turkey, and the UK - it seeks to discover the place which religion has or might have within family law. (Series: European Family Law - Vol. 30)

The Place of Religion in Family Law

Sean Patrick Donlan

This book discusses a number of important themes in comparative law: legal metaphors and methodology, the movements of legal ideas and institutions and the mixity they produce, and marriage, an area of law in which culture – or clashes of legal and public cultures – may be particularly evident. In a mix of methodological and empirical investigations divided by these themes, the work offers expanded analyses and a unique cross-section of materials that is on the cutting edge of comparative law scholarship. It presents an innovative approach to legal pluralism, the study of mixed jurisdictions, and language and the law, with the use of metaphors not as an illustration but as a core element of comparative methodology.
