No Boundaries

A Cairo family court gave Christian mother custody of her nine-year-old son after her ex-husband had converted to Islam and filed a custody claim.
Judge Khalil Mostafa based the Dec. 28 ruling on the recently amended child law.
The husband had converted to Islam two years ago. This facilitated the father’s custody claim since legally children must follow their father’s religion.
Mother custody over kids until they are 18, but when they reach 15, they are allowed to choose which parent they prefer to live with.
