Course objectives:
|
The goal of the course is to examine legal cases related to family relationships which are governed or shaped by Jewish and Islamic believe. The main focus of the course will be on court decisions not only from Israel and Muslim countries, but also from European countries and USA, further on responsas and fatwas (legal opinions) or other relevant legal sources. These cases will cover family issues, especially conclusion of marriage, divorce, matrimonial regimes, adoption, child custody, establishing of paternity etc. These cases will allow the student gain knowledge of the different approach to family related cases by "religious" courts and scholars on one hand and "secular" or "state" courts and lawyers on the other. The concept of the whole course is comparative, and the students shall be able to analyze legal cases and compare them. The course is taught in English for both Czech and incoming Erasmus students. The course is though in English language.
