the islamic prohibition of adoption as limitation of the right to respect of Family Life article 8 echr revisiting ecthr harroudj v france no 43631 09 4 october 2012
Social Science Research Network, 2021Co-Authors: Nikos KoumoutzisAbstract:The prohibition of adoption is common to many Muslim jurisdictions; it passes directly from religious law into statutory law. The French PIL incorporates this provision by making, in principle, foreign minors of prohibitive status ineligible for adoption. The question arises whether such restriction is compatible with the right to respect for Family Life (article 8 ECHR). In Harroudj v France, the ECtHR did not hesitate to respond in the affirmative. The paper revisits this judgment and concurs with what is deemed to be its ultimate finding, namely that a reduction on the level of satisfaction of the right to respect for Family Life may sometimes be justified as a token of tolerance or hospitality towards foreign ‘cultural law’.

when earwig mothers do not care to share parent offspring competition and the evolution of Family Life
Functional Ecology, 2017Co-Authors: Jos Kramer, Maximilian Korner, Janina M C Diehl, Christine Scheiner, Aytul Yukseldadak, Teresa Christl, Philip Kohlmeier, Joel MeunierAbstract:Kin competition often reduces – and sometimes entirely negates – the benefits of cooperation among Family members. Surprisingly, the impact of kin competition on the fitness effects of Family Life only received close scrutiny in studies on sibling rivalry, whereas the possibility of parent–offspring competition has attracted much less attention. As a consequence, it remains unclear whether and how parent–offspring competition could have affected the early evolution of parental care and Family Life. Here, we examined the occurrence and consequences of parent–offspring competition over food access in the European earwig Forficula auricularia, an insect with facultative Family Life reminiscent of an ancestral state. Specifically, we (1) raised earwig offspring under food limitation either together with or without their mother, and (2) tested whether and how the — potentially competitive — weight gains of mothers and offspring during Family Life affected the offsprings' survival rate and morphology, and the future reproductive investment of their mother. In line with the occurrence of parent–offspring competition, we showed that high maternal weight gains during Family Life reduced the survival prospects of maternally tended offspring, while they increased the mothers' investment into the production of a second clutch (but not the body size of the surviving offspring). Conversely, high offspring weight gains generally increased the offsprings' survival, but did so to a larger extent when they were together with their mother. Intriguingly, mothers that had exhibited a low initial weight showed especially high weight gains. Overall, our results demonstrate that maternal presence under food restriction triggered a local competition between mothers and their offspring. This competition limited offspring survival, but allowed mothers to increase their investment into future reproduction and/or to maintain their current body condition. On a general level, our findings reveal that parent–offspring competition can counteract the benefits of (facultative) parental care, and may thus impede the evolution of Family Life in resource-poor environments. A plain language summary is available for this article.

migrant domestic workers and the right to a private and Family Life
Social Science Research Network, 2019Co-Authors: Natalie SedaccaAbstract:Domestic workers are mainly women, are disproportionately from ethnic minorities and/or international migrants, and are vulnerable to mistreatment, often receiving inadequate protection from labour legislation. This article addresses ways in which the conditions faced by migrant domestic workers can prevent their enjoyment of the right to private and Family Life. It argues that the focus on this right is illuminating as it allows for the incorporation of issues that are not usually within the remit of labour law into the discussion of working rights, such as access to Family reunification, as well as providing for a different perspective on the question of limits on working time – a core labour right which is often denied to domestic workers. These issues are analysed by addressing a case study each from Latin America and Europe, namely Chile and the UK. The article considers impediments to realising the right to private and Family Life stemming both from the literal border – the operation of immigration controls and visa conditions – and from the figurative border which exists between domestic work and other types of work, reflected in the conflation of domestic workers with Family members and stemming from the public/private sphere divide.

the utility of Family Life cycle as a theoretical and empirical tool commitment and Family Life cycle stage
Journal of Family Issues, 2003Co-Authors: Carolyn A Kapinus, Michael P JohnsonAbstract:Using data from a 1980 national sample of married men and women, the analysis examines the utility of the Family Life cycle concept, employing as dependent variables constructs from Johnson’s conceptualization of commitment. They argue, in disagreement with two classic critiques of the Family Life cycle concept, that the predictive power of Family Life cycle is, for many dependent variables, quite independent of age or length of marriage. Their analyses demonstrate that, when using dependent variables one would expect to be related to the presence and ages of children, Family Life cycle remains a useful predictive tool.
