Child Custody and Kidnappings - Sexist Islamic Family Law
– Any children born to the wife will be considered Muslim. They will usually also be considered citizens of the father’s country.
– The husband’s permission is always needed for the children to leave an Islamic country despite the fact that the children will also have, for example, American citizenship. Foreign immigration authorities can be expected to enforce these regulations. The ability of U.S. consular officers to aid an American woman who wishes to leave the country with her children is very limited.
– The wife may be divorced by her husband at any time with little difficulty and without a court hearing.
– At a certain point in age, the children will come under the custody of the father or his family.
– In Islamic countries, the wife will need the permission of her husband to leave the country.
