It was 9:00 p.m. when a woman with an extremely pale face entered the office, She held a small toy in her hands; she was so fond of it that she thought of it as a living child. She walked in, her eyes expressing a sorrow that words cannot describe, Then she said in a trembling voice: “They took my infant child from me three months ago, “They even prevented me from seeing him or hearing his voice.” The family dispute had escalated between the two sides, The husband exploited a loophole and deprived her of her minor child in a flagrant violation of her right to custody and Islamic law.

I sat with her, listening to the details and compiling the documents, And I saw in her eyes that maternal fear tinged with hope. I immediately began preparing the complaint and filing urgent petitions with the Family Court to establish custody and secure the child’s return, Based on the explicit legal provisions established to protect the child and the mother’s natural and legal right to care for him or her.

On the morning of the day the court order to hand over the child was to be carried out, The atmosphere was filled with anticipation in front of the Operations Center. No sooner had the relevant authorities released the child than his mother took him into her arms, Until tears of joy streamed down her face and silence filled the room, broken only by the sound of the mother’s sobs mingled with gratitude, Recite with a peaceful heart the words of God Almighty: «فَرَدَدْنَاهُ إِلَى أُمِّهِ كَيْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ»، So that the law may serve as a strong bulwark protecting humanity’s most sacred bonds.
