Efficiency and its impact on family bonds

Abstract

Abstract: This research addresses the topic of compatibility and its impact on the family bond within the framework of personal status law and Islamic jurisprudence. Compatibility is crucial for achieving family stability and protecting the family unit from disputes and conflicts that may arise due to incompatibility between spouses. The research aims to clarify the concept of compatibility linguistically, jurisprudentially, and legally, explaining its foundations, such as religious compatibility, lineage, social status, and economic status, and the extent to which these elements influence the continuation or disruption of the marital relationship. The research also discusses the position of Islamic jurisprudence, across its various schools of thought, regarding the requirement of compatibility in a marriage contract, clarifying whether it is considered a right of the woman or her guardian. Furthermore, it reviews the stance of Arab legislation and personal status law on this issue. The research focuses on the legal and social consequences of the absence of compatibility and the potential for family disintegration or conflicts that affect the cohesion of the family and society. The research employs a comparative analytical approach, analyzing relevant legal texts and jurisprudential opinions to arrive at conclusions that affirm compatibility as a means to achieve balance and family stability, not an end in itself, and that religious commitment and good character are the most important foundations for building a sound family. The research also concluded that it is necessary to balance social considerations with the principles of justice and equality when applying the concept of competence, in a way that is consistent with the developments of contemporary society and at the same time preserves the family bond and Its stability
