Manama, The Supreme Council for Women (SCW), in collaboration with the Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs, and Endowments, organised an awareness event about mediation in sharia matters. The event, held at the council's headquarters, was attended by women's associations and beneficiaries of the services of the SCW's Women's Support Centre. The event highlighted the importance of Islamic mediation as a significant development in Bahrain's legal system, promoting family and societal stability. It helps reach settlements in disputes that have not yet gone to court or have been referred for mediation. Mohammed Bader, Head of the Family Reconciliation Office, and Salman Abdulaziz, a sharia researcher at the office, discussed the services, procedures, and branches of the Family Reconciliation Office, which employs sharia and legal researchers as well as family guidance specialists. They explained how to request services either through electronic government channels or court referrals. The concept of sharia med iation, types of mediators, registration procedures, and the mediation process were also covered. The mediators handle family and marital disputes, including post-divorce issues. The process for certifying mediation agreements at the Family Reconciliation Office was also explained. The speakers commended the cooperation with SCW and the Ministry of Social Development, which has enhanced support for amicably resolved cases and mitigated the negative impact of disputes on family life.
