The Federal Civil Personal Status Law regulates civil family matters in accordance with international best practices, based on civil rules and regulations not derived from religion (as opposed to Sharia law). This law governs civil marriage procedures, unilateral divorce, joint child custody to ensure and protect the best interests of the child, as well as wills and inheritance distribution.
At Najma Al-Marzouqi Law Firm and Legal Consultancy, we have a highly experienced team specializing in personal status matters for non-Muslims.
