Majalla and Its Influence on the Codes of the Middle Eastern Muslim Countries: the Example of Iraq
Abstract
Majalla is a civil code comprising mostly the principles pertaining to jurisdiction, law of obligations and property law.This code had been in force in all Ottoman courts except those in Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula from 1877 to the fall of the Ottoman State. On the contrary to Anatolia where Turkey founded after the Ottoman State, the code had yet been in force in the former Ottoman territories for a while. By means of examination of the codification process of the civil laws in Arab countries, Iraq in particular how much their laws have been influenced by Majalla will be clearly noticed. Iraqi jurists have deemed Majalla the main reference in order to develop a civil law and made use of it substantially. This study deals with the dimensions of the influence, particulary Iraq from Majalla through an examination of various codes. In the end of the paper, the positive and negative points of Majalla are spoken of.
