Head of Jaafari Court demands the review of legal procedure laws

The head of the Jaafari Court at the Higher Islamic Shiite Council (HISC), Ali Makki, categorically denied a report by Al Akhbar daily which quoted him as saying that the Jaafari courts in Lebanon were “completely spent”. Makki was responding to the investigative report published by Al Akhbar newspaper on July 26 under the heading, ‘Lebanese women predicaments in Jaafari courts: left in limbo between marriage and divorce’, (c.f: https://bit.ly/2Am2J2d). He explained that the unused judicial power and the procrastination in appointing a head of the courts have caused a delay in the legal process and in the pronouncement of verdicts. He said he only called for re-drafting the law on courts and accelerating appointments. (Al Akhbar, July 27, 2018)
