قرار رقم (10) لسنة 2025 الخاص بالتصديق على (مدونة الأحكام الشرعية في مسائل الأحوال الشخصية وفق المذهب الشيعي الجعفري) وتُعد ملحقاً للقانون رقم (1) لسنة 2025 قانون تعديل قانون الأحوال الشخصية رقم (188) لسنة 1959
The law aims to provide a structured and authoritative legal framework for regulating personal status matters—such as marriage, divorce, lineage, inheritance, and related family issues—based on the principles of the Ja‘fari school. By incorporating this codified body of jurisprudential rulings into the national legal system, the law seeks to recognize doctrinal plurality, enhance legal clarity, and ensure that the application of personal status rules for adherents of the Ja‘fari school is conducted in a consistent and organized manner within the broader framework of Iraqi personal status legislation.
