Public policy and the con­di­tions for con­clud­ing a mixed mar­riage: A view from Mo­roc­can law

De­vel­op­ment sum­mary

Ab­der­rah­mane El Qari ex­am­ines the limits of the effect of public policy on the con­di­tions for con­clud­ing a mixed mar­riage. These con­di­tions, the author notes, vary from state to state be­cause they rest on dif­fer­ent found­a­tions, so that ap­ply­ing a for­eign law may touch the fun­da­ment­al prin­ciples of the state.

The author ob­serves that the Mo­roc­can le­gis­lat­or, like others, has provided a public policy mech­an­ism to set aside for­eign rules that con­tra­dict the prin­ciples on which the state rests. The art­icle con­siders the limits within which that mech­an­ism should op­er­ate for the con­di­tions of a mixed mar­riage.
