Talk:Law of Jordan

British Mandate

Note on this newish article - Jordan until 1946 was a British dependency, and the king's council edicts applied to Jordan as well (The act of 1922 did extend previous Ottoman law) - and were incorporated in Jordanian law. While the British did not modify family law they did modify other areas - this was carried over by the independent Jordanian kingdom in 1946 - who subsequently repealed quite a bit of it. In terms of sourcing, this mentions this - [1] - but better sources are required.Icewhiz (talk) 12:31, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

West Bank

Note2 on this newish article - the law recognized by Israeli authorities in Israeli controlled areas of the West-Bank (the PA has its own system, which does continue the previous code) while in name Jordanian law (as it was in 1967) does differ in interpretation of Jordanian law (the Jordanians' claim that acts passed post-1946 repealed some Mandate-era legislation whereas the Israelis disagree (partly due to not recognizing the sovereignty of the Jordanian occupation (while recognizing the occupation itself)), see here - [2].Icewhiz (talk) 12:31, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

That page isn't available? What is the page range? I will ask at the Resource exchange - I'm already waiting on another source, once I get that I will put the request through. Seraphim System ^(talk) 12:50, 26 November 2017 (UTC) Seraphim System ^(talk) 12:50, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Islam

@Seraphim System: Although Islam is state religion, it is in no way superior to the country's constitution. If the case was so, Jordan would have been described as a theocracy. But it isn't. Makeandtoss (talk) 11:42, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
