Actualités du statut personnel des communautés musulmanes au Liban

Les musulmans du Liban, appartenant à trois courants de l’islam, sunnite, shiite et druze, appliquent au mariage et à ses effets, notamment le divorce, la filiation, l’adoption, et les successions, des solutions du droit musulman dégagées par des tribunaux communautaires propres à chacune des communautés. Le droit musulman dont les sources se retrouvent principalement, mais pas seulement, dans le Coran, reçoit en matière de statut personnel des applications diverses selon les différentes écoles de l’islam. Mis à l’épreuve de la cohabitation avec des lois d’origine séculière et du contrôle d’un État religieusement neutre, le droit musulman tel qu’appliqué aujourd’hui au Liban a-t-il subi une transformation qui prenne en compte les acquis sociaux actuels, notamment quand il s’agit du statut de la femme et de la filiation ?Lebanese Muslims belong one of three branches of Islam (Sunni, Shi’a and Druze).  Tribunals apply Islamic law according to their respective community associations with regard to marriage and related questions (notably divorce, filiation, adoption, and succession).
