Abstract

The International Survey of Family Law 2023 edition is a golden jubilee commemoration of its momentous achievements, recognised globally for its scholarship on developments, reform initiatives and emerging trends on family law. The series commences with personal chronicles and successive chapters providing overviews of continuing evolutions in family law over half of the past century from a global jurisprudential perspective. The book engages various aspects of personal and family law, with traditional, modern influences and controversial influences, accentuating the progressive move over the 5 decades from a homogenous perspective on personal law systems to pluralistic systems of governing family law.
