SUMMARY:Legal Pluralism and Challenges for Family Law Governance
LOCATION:Room 1.103
DESCRIPTION:All over the world non-state mechanisms exist in the realm of f
 amily law, reflecting the existing religious and cultural diversity. Propon
 ents of narrow state regulation argue that non-state mechanisms can be a we
 lcome addition to state governance of family law. Others oppose a prominent
  role for customary and religious mechanisms as they fear that those will c
 hallenge statutory rights of individual members - especially rights on equa
 lity. This debate is especially manifest in Muslim majority countries, as s
 tate regulation and interpretations of Muslim family law are prone to chall
 enging views.\n\nEven in a situation of exclusive state regulation of famil
 y law, customary and religious mechanisms may continue to operate, which ma
 y result in practices of unregistered marriages and out-of-court divorces. 
 Government institutions may show leniency towards such practices and recogn
 ize its full or particular legal consequences: for instance, when an undera
 ge marriage is registered, or when in case of an unregistered religious mar
 riage, the court puts an obligation upon a father to pay child support. The
  consequences of such leniency can be paradoxical: it grants rights to indi
 vidual women and their children, but at the same time it maintains a normat
 ive system which challenges basic statutory family law provisions aimed at 
 protecting women and children in general.\n\nParticipants in this panel wil
 l address the challenges that legal pluralism pose for family law governanc
 e; the ways in which government institutions, communities, minorities, and 
 / or individuals deal with those challenges; and the consequences this has 
 for family law governance and individual rights of citizens. The panel aims
  at increasing our knowledge about how in family law matters normative syst
 ems interact and how this interlegality affects family law governance.
