This article explores the intersections and divergences between Islamic law (Sharia) and international legal standards concerning parental rights and child custody. It analyzes the fundamental principles guiding family law in Islam such as the best interests of the child, custody age, and gender roles of parents and compares them with international norms, particularly those set by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The article emphasizes the importance of cultural and legal sensitivity when developing universal standards for child protection.
