Father, in the majority of cases, is on the receiving end of the family law even though in Quran Allah clearly says "No mother or father should be made to suffer for their child" Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 223. But the family court always seems to favor the mother. Female judges seem to favor women and are generally more sympathetic toward mothers. Sharia, anyways, does not allow female judges and in Muslim countries such as UAE and Saudi Arabia, there are no female judges. Also, meetings between a non-custodial parent and the child should not be held on the court premises. In Pakistan, the family courts are in the same building as civil courts, and the environment in the courts is not at all conducive to a family meeting. There should be a separate area away from the courtrooms with home-like furniture (like sofas), a play area for small kids, and a cafeteria with food appropriate for kids. The best thing would be for the govt to have an entirely separate building for the family courts away from the civil courts. Another suggestion is to have a family guidance court with counselors of age over 50, and with expert knowledge of shariah laws dealing with family matters, where the disputing parties could go to resolve family matters amicably under the guidance of the learned counselors without any involvement of lawyers or paying any kind of fee. There could be a maximum of 3 sessions with a counselor to sort out the issues amicably and if the disputing parties do not reach a compromise, they could go to the family court. I believe around 50% of family matters could be resolved without families having to spend thousands of rupees and making numerous trips to the court consuming their time and causing anxiety.
