Abstract:
Islam includes all human rights in its divine legislations and distinguishes itself from other legislations through justice, equality, and taking into account all the rights of individuals without being excessive or negligent, and making these rights commensurate with the individual, as well as taking into account the age stages and physiological characteristics of the human being. The Islamic Sharia gave large space to family personal status law, as it dealt with the rights of the spouses in detail. This study aims to highlight the characteristics of family personal status laws in Islamic law and compare them to Western laws, using Libyan and German law as examples for Muslims and Westerners. We also aim to identify the comprehensiveness and characteristics of Islamic legislation in comparison to other legislation, as well as to reveal family suffering in Germany, and demonstrate Western society's disintegration and degeneration as a result of laws contrary to human nature. The researcher hopes to highlight the differences between Islamic legislation and its characteristics, as well as the comprehensive observance of the rights of an individual within the family, and Western legislation and its moral decadence, which has fallen as a result of Western insults.
Key words: personal status law, family, legislation Islam, the West, Libya, Germany.
