This book is ideal for scholars and students interested in family law, international law, sociology, and socio-legal studies.

Description

Bringing together some of the world’s leading family law scholars, as well as bright and emerging minds in the field of global family law, this book explores the differences and commonalities in the conceptualisation and legal treatment of families throughout different legal traditions.

Each chapter delves into topics integral to family law jurisprudence and serves as a novel examination into a deep slice of family law. Together, the four parts and sixteen chapters create a melodious and intriguing examination of groundbreaking and cutting-edge areas of law in the realm of the family.

The four parts primarily focus upon a major family law topic, with the authors examining the laws across jurisdictions, cross-nationally, or in some cases intra-jurisdictionally. It is through this comparative lens that we see how family law concepts are woven into the fabric of overall society around the globe.

Exploring Norms and Family Laws across the Globe is of interest to family law, international law, sociology, and socio-legal scholars.
