Parents and children between Dutch, Egyptian, and Moroccan family law (Ouders en kinderen in transnationale gezinnen tussen Nederlands en islamitisch familierecht) |
| Description |
This research studies how parents in Egyptian-Dutch and Moroccan-Dutch transnational families deal with family law. In what ways do parents in transnational families use the different family law systems that apply to them when creating the legal relationship with their children? Which factors influence the ways in which parents in transnational families use family law? The research combines insights and methodologies from sociology of law with legal scholarship in three different countries (Egypt, Morocco and the Netherlands). It has a clear empirical component that consists of around fifty qualitative interviews with parents living in the three countries. The research aims at generating more insight in the role of family law in the everyday lives of transnational families by studying the interaction between Dutch, Egyptian, and Moroccan family law from a bottom-up perspective. |
