A Toronto woman challenges Canada’s ban on recognizing Pakistani Islamic adoptions, saying it violates her family’s equality rights.
多伦多妇女Jameela Qadeer(Jameela Qadeer)质疑加拿大禁止根据伊斯兰法承认巴基斯坦的收养,
A Toronto woman, Jameela Qadeer, is challenging Canada’s ban on recognizing adoptions from Pakistan under Islamic law, arguing it violates her family’s equality rights.
在母亲死亡和父亲于2013年正式放弃权利之后,巴基斯坦法院授予她及其丈夫对她妹妹的三个孩子的法律监护权。
She and her husband were granted legal guardianship of her sister’s three children by a Pakistani court after the mother’s death and the father’s formal relinquishment of rights in 2013.
作为她自己的人抚养的儿童获准前往加拿大,但加拿大自2013年以来一直不承认这种收养,并列举了伊斯兰“kafala”没有切断生物联系的担忧。
The children, raised as her own, were authorized to travel to Canada, but Canada has not recognized such adoptions since 2013, citing concerns that Islamic “kafala” does not sever biological ties.
Qadeer和两个穆斯林团体认为,巴基斯坦法院命令是一种正式的、可执行的监护安排,类似于美国公认的收养,而且这项禁令对穆斯林家庭的影响格外严重。
Qadeer and two Muslim groups argue the Pakistani court order is a formal, enforceable custody arrangement similar to recognized adoptions in the U.S., and that the ban disproportionately affects Muslim families.
该案正由加拿大联邦法院审理。
The case is before Canada’s Federal Court.
