Frequently Asked Questions
- Can the father waive guardianship voluntarily?
- No. Guardianship is a personal right and Sharia duty he cannot waive by ordinary agreement. He may delegate execution of some affairs to another, but the legal capacity remains his.
- Can guardianship be transferred to the mother by amicable agreement?
- An amicable agreement is not legally recognized. Even with the father's consent, a judicial ruling removing his guardianship or appointing the mother as custodian is required. Agreement alone changes neither the records nor the actual guardianship.
- How long does court transfer take?
- Between 6 months and 2 years depending on evidence and possible appeals. Cases where both parties agree move faster; contested cases extend.
