Summary/Abstract: Family law can be treated as a branch of positive law and as a separate, independent part of the legal science. Family law is a set of legal norms which regulate the family and relationships between family members, that is relationships that are formed when forming a family, its duration or cessation of existence. These relationships arise from the foundation of the relationship between a man and a woman, birth and forms of kinship that result from that connection. Law theorists in Islamic culture and civilization commonly use the term of family law for the regulation of marriage, divorce, testament, and inheritance, although in Islamic Fiqh, everything that is regulated by family relations has previously been called by a personal, special name such as the chapter of marriage, divorce, etc.
