Comparative Study of Egyptian and Pakistani Family Law

Abstract: This study explores a comparative analysis of family law in Egypt and Pakistan, focusing on marriage, divorce, child custody, and inheritance. Both countries apply Islamic law as the foundation of their legal systems, yet they exhibit significant differences due to historical, cultural, and legal developments. Egypt emphasizes codification and centralized legal reform, while Pakistan integrates Islamic jurisprudence with colonial legal influences. By examining statutory provisions and judicial practices, this research highlights the unique approaches each country takes toward family law, aiming to provide insights into the broader dynamics of Islamic legal systems in contemporary society.
