Talk:Islamic adoptional jurisprudence

Kafala does not mean adoption in arabic. This article also leaves out the obvious reference to adoption in the Qur'an, Surat 33:4-5. It is also useful to point out that Tunisia is the only Muslim state to allow adoption as defined in Roman law. I will make said changes to this website if there are no comments.

Zero-content site
I have removed once again the link to the external site. Until it says something, I see no reason it should be here. Tizio 14:07, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Merge
There is no need for a separate article.--عبد المؤمن (talk) 15:05, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

I believe that Kafala system ought to be merged into Islamic adoptional jurisprudence. Kafala is the Arabic word that is being referenced when we discuss ‘adoption’ in an Islamic legal context, though the words are not exactly synonymous. The text found in Kafala System discusses how the legal act of Kafala has been expanded in some jurisdictions to include fixed term sponsorship contracts (along with the human rights abuses associated with said practices), but without the context of where the law comes from. Equally, this page ignores the ways in which Kafala has been expanded beyond its original mandate, which are relevant to the topic. As an additional concern, because of the way these two pages are named, when one uses a search engine to learn about Kafala, only the human rights abuses appear in the top results. Merging the two pages would benefit both discussions by providing necessary context to both versions of Kafala and to the public at large who are searching for this information. Because both articles are relatively short this should not cause the combination to be too long. Hmduncan (talk) 14:43, 16 Feb 2017 (UTC)


 * Adding the context that you just described to both articles would make sense - I've done what I could to add this context. But the main content of the two articles is different: "fixed term sponsorship contracts and associated human rights abuses" is a different topic to Islamic jurisprudence for adopting children. The terminology (in English) also seems to be different: "kafala" vs "kafala system", although HRW is careful to keep kafala in italics. I'm removing the merge tags, since the two articles are on different content, the tags are old, and adding context and appropriate disambiguation notes at the top of the pages is a more appropriate way of reducing the chance that people arrive with a search engine at a different article to the one they expect. (There was also a technical problem with the merge tag at kafala system, since it pointed to the kafala system talk page instead of this one.) Boud (talk) 21:12, 2 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Please feel welcome to add sourced content in the section Kafala_system - this would help show the readers of that article that the migrant-worker-control system is legally/historically/etymologically a system of treating migrant workers as legal minors (similarly to the Saudi male guardianship system that Saudi women are campaigning against, because it treats them as minors too).
