Although Jordan, or what is termed officially as the “Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan” (Jordan), was formally established in 1921, it is quite rich in history as several civilizations have inhabited it, including the Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arab Muslims and others. Throughout history, Jordan has been at the crossroads connecting the continents of Asia, Africa and Europe.

Arab countries are mainly civil law countries and largely influenced by the French legal system and not the common law. There is always confusion as to the role that Islam has to play in the Arab world. Islamic Laws only play a major role in martial and family matters particularly marriage, divorce, and inheritance.
Many of the laws in the Arab region are taken indirectly from France (Napoleon and secular laws) as they are adopted with slight differences from Egyptian laws. The reason for that is because Egyptian scholars went to study law in France, and when they came back they drafted laws that are similar to the French Legislations based on their education and experience. |
