Abstract

İslam Aile Hukuku, İslam Hukuku’nun en çok uygulanan sahasıdır. İslam'ın ilk kaynağı olan Kur'an-ı Kerim bu hukuk alanını vurgulamaktadır. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu döneminde Hukuk-i Aile Kararnamesi 'nin (HAK) yayınlanması, İslam Hukuku'ndaki kanunlaştırma hareketinin son adımı olmuştur. Ayrıca, Nijerya'nın Kuzey bölgesi, çeşitli düzeylerde şeriat mahkemeleri aracılığıyla İslami aile hukukunu uygulamaktadır. En sık karşılaşılan davalardan biri boşanma ile ilgili olanlardır. Bu çalışma, HAK ile Nijerya'da İslami Aile Hukuku arasındaki farklılıklar ve benzerlikleri ortaya koymak için boşanmaya ilişkin hükümleri incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yasal hükümlerin niteliksel karşılaştırmalı bir analizini oluşturmak için farklı kaynaklara erişildi. HAK'ta Hanefi mezhebinin yanı sıra diğer fıkıh mezheplerinin görüşlerinin de benimsenmesi, Nijerya'da İslami boşanma hukukunda benimsenen Maliki ekolü ile bağlantılar ve benzerlikler yaratmıştır. Tahkime izin verilmesi ortak bir zemin olmakla birlikte, HAK hakemlere gerekli gördüğü takdirde evliliği kesin olarak sona erdirme yetkisi vermiştir. Ayrıca, Nijerya'da kanunlaştırılmış İslami Aile Hukukunun bulunmaması, HAK prototibiyle düzeltilmesi gereken çırkın bir taraf olmaktadır.

COMPARISON OF OTTOMAN FAMILY LAW DECREE (HAK) AND ISLAMIC FAMILY LAW IN NIGERIA IN THE FRAMEWORK OF DIVORCE.

Abstract

Islamic Family Law is the most applied aspect of Islamic Law. The glorious Quran which the first source of Islam underscores this space of law. During the reign of Ottoman empire, the promulgation of Family Law Decree (HAK) was the final step in the codification processes of Islamic Law. Also, Muslim dominated Northern Nigeria implements Islamic family law through various levels of sharia courts. One of the most frequent cases are divorce related ones. This work aims to analyse the provisions on divorce to divulge the points of differences and similarities between HAK and Islamic Family Law in Nigeria. Different resources were accessed to form a qualitative comparative analysis of the legal provisions. The adoption of views of other schools of fiqih along with Hanafi views in HAK created links and similarities with Maliki school that is embraced in Islamic divorce law in Nigeria. Although, the authorization of arbitration is a common ground, however HAK sanctioned the arbitrators to conclusively terminate the marriage if it is deemed necessary. Absence of codified Islamic Family Law in Nigeria remains an appalling side which has to be fixed with the blueprint of HAK.
