The Role of Islamic Mediation in Resolving Family Disputes in Turkish Families
Abstract
This article examines Islamic family mediation as a value-driven approach to conflict resolution, grounding its principles in the Qur'an, the sunnah, and the jurisprudence of Islamic scholars (fuqaha). It highlights the importance of the mediator's ethical and religious grounding, emphasizing their role in promoting justice and reconciliation. While traditionally applied to marital disputes, the study argues for the broader applicability of Islamic mediation principles across diverse family law contexts. The paper examines the legal frameworks for mediation in both Turkish and Islamic legal systems, noting their distinct scopes and procedures. It observes that Islamic law generally supports mediation in family matters, with exceptions in cases involving violations of Allah's rights or public order. This study is based on a comprehensive review of the existing literature on Islamic family mediation, examining previous research to provide an in-depth understanding of the subject. Islamic family mediation fosters mutual respect, forgiveness, and compromise, helping individuals develop skills to navigate interpersonal relationships with wisdom and grace. This approach addresses conflicts while also highlighting the significance of maintaining family ties and fostering community. The study concludes by advocating for the expansion of mediation's application in Türkiye, suggesting that its broader adoption would unlock its full potential in fostering peaceful and equitable resolutions to family conflicts.
