Arbitration between spouses: A comparison between Iraqi and Iranian law

Abstract

     The arbitration system between spouses is a process aimed at resolving marital disputes amicably and effectively, without resorting to traditional court procedures. One or more arbitrators are appointed by the disputing parties to review the case. The arbitrator is a neutral and qualified individual who resolves the conflict fairly. The process begins with the spouses agreeing to resort to arbitration, during which evidence and testimonies are presented to the arbitrator. The arbitrator examines the case and issues a ruling based on the applicable laws and the specific circumstances of the couple. The advantage of this system lies in its speed and privacy, offering a faster and more cost-effective solution compared to traditional courts while ensuring the confidentiality of the proceedings. Additionally, it provides a flexible environment that fosters understanding and negotiation between the parties.
