Reviews

'International parental child abduction is a global problem. It is the subject of the 1980 Hague Abduction Convention which is generally regarded as a successful international family law instrument and to which there are 101 Contracting States. However, very few of those States are what Emon and Khaliq describe as Muslim Family Law States. Furthermore, until now, there has been no extensive treatise examining the problem from an Islamic perspective. Judicial Exceptionalisms plugs this gap and provides a challenging analysis both of the problems that parental child abduction creates and of the difficulties that Muslim Family Law States face in acceding to the 1980 Convention. In its conclusion, the authors thoughtfully explore the options that Muslim Family Law States might adopt in going forward in reaching an international agreement on how to deal with abduction.' Nigel Lowe, QC (Hon), Emeritus Professor of Law, Cardiff University
