الاعتبار المذهبي في قانون الأسرة البحريني : الصادر بالقانون 19 لسنة 2017

Abstract EN

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya taught us that jurisprudence is divided into two parts, the jurisprudence of reality and its comprehension and jurisprudence of duty in this reality.

In my view, This is the correct approach, because we will not be able to achieve the purpose of the Muslim peoples in codification Islamic rulings un- less we realize the true reality of the societies.

Through this vision, I will explain briefly the success of approach to Kingdom of Bahrain in- Despite the resistance of the sectarian authority for a long time codification of a unified family law or the codification of two in-dependent laws- codifying the family law (19/1017), whose provisions apply to all disputes within the jurisdiction of sharia court, and also applies to adherents of Sunni jurisprudence and Ja'fari jurisprudence.

And the Kingdom of Bahrain- like some other countries- was not able to eradicate sectarian fanaticism, so it codified two laws, the first for the Sun¬ni sect and the second for the Ja'fari sect.

Codifying laws that do not differ according to sects will eliminate sectar¬ian ethnos- widespread in the countries of the Middle East- and lead to equality between citizens and support for national unity.
