The personal status law is one of the
important laws that have a direct impact on human life. It is the law that is
concerned with family affairs. However, there are several conventions and
international conferences dealing with issues which are no longer an individual
issue that is dealt with within the scope of domestic legislation. Rather, it
has become a global issue. It is no longer acceptable to have conflicting
legislation with international agreements, especially if this country has
ratified or acceded to these agreements.
