Prepared under the supervision of Prof Julia Sloth-Nielsen, University of the Wstern Cape, South Africa. Mini Dissertation (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa))--University of Pretoria, 2009. Islamic Kafalah is a guardianship system that enables a child to be brought up within a family environment without inheritance rights and ‘assimilation’ as the legal child of the new parents. This study analyses Kafalah within the context of alternative care for children deprived of their environment. Compares Kafalah to other forms of alternative case and examines the extent to which Kafalah is recognized and practiced internationally. http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ Centre for Human Rights LLM 2010-01-20T13:54:12Z 2010-01-20T13:54:12Z 2009 2009 Mini Dissertation Assim, UM 2009, In the best interest of the child deprived of a family environment: a focus on Islamic Kafalah as an alternative care option, LLM Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/12678> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/12678 en LLM Dissertations Centre for Human Rights University of Pretoria application/pdf University of Pretoria |
