Family arbitration among Syrians in Türkiye

Öz

Centres for reconciliation and arbitration have emerged in refugee-hosting countries, particularly in Türkiye, as alternative mechanisms to traditional courts gain importance due to the challenges Syrians face integrating into Turkish or European legal systems. One prominent example of these initiatives is family reconciliation centres, managed by Islamic organisations and Syrian scholars’ associations. These centres provide solutions for family disputes through arbitration, incorporating Islamic law and the laws of the host country. By resolving issues such as divorce, alimony, and custody in amicable and confidential ways, they preserve family relations and promote stability within the Syrian community in Türkiye. These centres contribute to achieving social justice among Syrians in diaspora, offering a flexible and expedited dispute resolution process compared to traditional courts. Statistics from the Gaziantep Centre’s 2019 report highlight their success in settling hundreds of family and financial cases. These initiatives underscore the significant role of family arbitration in reducing pressure on formal courts and providing Syrians with a preferred alternative for resolving disputes amid the complexities of in new environment.
