That is a big problem because ma7kame el ja3fariyyeh is part of Lebanese legal system. And you cannot use an alien legal system and its laws to overrule on the laws of the country, however fine and beautiful the alien legal system is. Except if this means we are dumping all the sectarian courts, including the Christian ones and adopting the American legal system. I am not arguing for or against any system or its laws. I am simply saying whatever is in place should have been respected because it has to do with our sovereignty as a country. It is that simple. I may not necessarily agree with the very Lebanese laws that give custody to the father, even if the father might be right in this case or not. But the government cannot undo laws. Those in power or politicians and political office holders should not be the ones deciding on legal matters. Where's the separation of powers in Lebanon? There is no such thing. We are still in the stone age when it comes to having a modern judiciary. When our rogue politicians meet and agree on anything, it becomes law. Our courts are virtually nonexistent. Politicians appoint judges and they make and execute, review, implement and change laws. We have no judiciary. Any case can be settled through an influential politician who can work things out in one's favor. That is lawlessness.In Lebanon it is illegal i think to get a passport for your children without the consent of both parents.
Anyway, so what s the problem here really? Is it because the "ma7kame ja3fariye law" got over ruled?
Your post hits the nail on the head.@Rachel Corrie what the Lebanese authorities did here is a grave mistake. we have no extradition treaty with the US. the people in question are Lebanese. this is just another example of being slaves to the US. ma da5alo b ja3fari courts or catholic or orthodox courts etc.
why?? la2ano lebanon is an american parasite. they dont want u to be a strong country fighting their partner in crime in the ME. the US was never and never will be the friend of minorities in the ME.Your post hits the nail on the head.
Everyone is quiet on this issue. Both the pro-western and anti-western camps and the nationalist/neutral camps. The media too very much silent. We should know who made the mistake and ordered for the kidnapping and handing over citizens of Lebanon to a foreign country. Let us know who ordered for it. Why the deafening silence? Don't we have media houses in Lebanon? Where are the TV stations? Where is aljadeed on this story?
The politicians are probably afraid of US sanctions.Your post hits the nail on the head.

So compromising on our sovereignty and the right of their citizens would prevent US sanctions? The US is already sanctioning our politicians. The US is already sanctioning every country. We wont die of US sanctions eventually.The politicians are probably afraid of US sanctions.
