Abstract

Between raw and assimilationist territorialism on the one hand, and unfinished and evasive personalism on the other, the handling of personal status in private international law should pursue a third way combining tolerance, liberalism and clarity. Drawing from these main theoretical

foundations, Muslim law has always striven to maintain a sincere multiculturalism. Family affairs being one of the most conducive areas to the implementation of such an endeavor, an infinitely personalist, lenient and liberal approach, fully recognizing the cultural specificities of minorities and rejecting the recourse to techniques of exclusion and negation of the other, was born since the very beginnings of this law. Since then, an ultraliberal welcoming of foreign family institutions has been an extension of a sustained millennial tradition that have withstood over centuries the territorialist temptations of an international law which has never ceased to develop an extreme egocentrism. Its legal foundations are strikingly clear, precise, and simple that it would be impossible to override them without violating the very spirit of the central legal dogma supporting such a tradition.
