A Zimmi: "Let my wife be divorced from me three times": The Use of the Ottoman Kadi Courts by Zimmis for Family Law Issues

Abstract

This essay aims to submit some examples regarding disputes arised from zimmi-zimmi marriages and solved by sharia courts. Several explanations can be put forward on why Ottoman Jews and Christians voluntarily chose to bring their family and personal legal problems before the Muslim court. This article is based primarily upon the records of the proceedings of several Istanbul courts.
