Research title / Family protection provisions in Iraqi law and the desired legal framework for it.

Abstract

Family protection means protecting women, children and men together, so protection here is for the human being regardless of age, health, mental and physical condition, and a title with this comprehensiveness required for research and writing to review several laws such as the Civil Code, Personal Status Law, Penal Code, Juvenile Law and Minor Care Law to identify the provisions that preserve all the rights of the natural person, and certainly the individual is most in need of support and protection due to customs, religious laws and prevailing laws in addition to traditions that violate the rights of the individual, especially women and children, provided that the laws prevailing in Iraq and its surroundings include general provisions that do not take into account the gender and age of the individual, whether in rights or duties. This required that we make the research into two requirements, the first of which we devoted to reviewing the provisions related to family members in Iraqi laws.

The second requirement was devoted to the provisions for protecting the family in general as the nucleus of society. We concluded in the results and recommendations that it is important to enact a law to protect the family and reduce domestic violence so that it would be an addition and complete the deficiencies that the legislator should stipulate in laws such as the Penal Code, Personal Status Code, and other laws
