The study presents one of the main principles concerning the establishment of motherhood in Roman law and founded according to most authors of Paul's text in D. 2.4.5. They are found in most modern legislations, but in recent decades, it is increasingly necessary to find the Roman law tradition in its authentic sense and some ideas for flexible application of these principles in relation to adoptions, assisted reproduction, surrogacy, etc.

From ancient times until today, the sea has been a border, but also - a link. The use of marine waters is dealt with in international maritime law, but it is a matter of international relations as well. A brief historical overview of the impact on the Black Sea over the centuries has been made. The problem of sovereignty is also derived from history. This issue remains relevant and controversial. In the paper, sovereignty is considered from a legal and geopolitical perspective.

The aim of this article is to highlight the importance of the Roman legal terminology on contracts, origin of modern basic concepts such as contract, pactum, agreement, transaction (with mutual sacrifices by the parties), or unilateral promise etc., very abundant, from the legal theory’s point of view, in the Roman law. This ancient law is, nowadays, an indispensable tool referring the dialogue between the most widespread traditions in the world, i. e., the Roman-Germanic and the Common Law. In order to do that, even between national laws belonging to a common legal tradition, the analysis of the genesis and nature of the legal concepts in Roman law constitutes a fundamental task of legal interpretation. A review of the traditional theory of the sources of obligations in Roman law is also necessary. This paper, besides, affords the discussion of the recent reform of the French Civil Code concerning the sources of obligations (2016), as well as some of the different initiatives about the international unification of private law.

The article analyzes the large-scale theoretical significance of Axel Hägerström's idea of the magical origin of a number of the institutes of the most ancient Roman law. In the theoretical thought of Scandinavian legal realism, and especially of Hagerstrom's student Karl Olivecrona, the idea develops that legal thinking bears a number of features of primitive magical thinking. Scandinavian realists oppose the alternative of a fact-oriented legal method, which considers legal norms as mere probabilistic conditional statements for how a hypothetical judge would decide in a hypothetical situation. The proposed analysis develops the idea of analogies between magical and legal thinking, considering the relationships between magic and science and magic and religion. The term "magic" in the authors under consideration is shown in its role of an argumentative tool rather than a strictly anthropological concept. The scientific endeavor of Scandinavian legal realists is explained as a radical opposition to the older legal theory. The idea of magic served Olivecronа ultimately to emphasize the importance of legal psychology for legal thinking and to present legal force as the belief in the binding nature of a rule.

The article presents the terms and concepts of heir and inheritance, formed in the archaic era by solemnis mos and included in ius civile. Inheritance is analyzed as a cultural and legal-religious achievement with richer content than the ordinary transfer of property after the death of the testator. A comparison is made between inheritance by law (ab intestato) and by will the appointment of an heir by testamentum calatis comiciis and adoption by adrogatio. The basic and genetically related terminology for heir and inheritance passes into the legal tradition based on Roman law in both models of inheritance – by will and by law. Linguistically, however, "successio" has an expressive meaning, but it is the result of the reasoning of classical jurists and interpreting the models of succession on the occasion of death in civil and praetorian law.

During the 19th century, Ottoman law was influenced by the West. The Tanzimat reforms marked the beginning of criminal codification in the Ottoman Empire, whose Penal Code was adopted in 1858.It was modern in terms of format and content, and it differed from the penal laws of 1840 and 1851. Its first article stated that it shall not repeal the provisions of Sharia law. This dual nature of the code caused a lot of confusion. The complete replacement of Sharia law with modern European law did not happen suddenly, but gradually. This was necessary for the government to embrace the new ideas and understandings of the modern societies at that time. Therefore, the attempts of the Ottoman authorities to modernize the Empire’s laws,particularly the ONK, cannot be denied.

Geographically, Bosnia and Herzegovina is part of Eastern Europe, while in a historical and religious sense, it has been associated with the Islamic world since the Ottoman conquest of this region during the 15th century. It is inhabited by Bosniaks, Serbs, Croats, Albanians, Turks, Romanies and others. Throughout its history, from the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, through communist Yugoslavia, to Serbo-Croatian ambitions in the last war, Bosnia and Herzegovina has been exposed to a number of disasters, most of which were related to wars and aggressions. These have caused Muslims living in Bosnia and Herzegovina to be repeatedly cut off from their brothers in other countries, to be prevented from performing religious practices and establishing religious education, and to live divided among nationalities and forces constantly seeking their subjugation and disappearance. Therefore, Muslims in these areas needed a clear legal sharia solution (fatwa) that would facilitate their social, religious, political and military life and protect them from the iron grip of their enemies. Thus, several fatwas have appeared known by the names of those who issued them, (...)

One of the most important rights of the child organized by Islamic law is the right of custody, and the performance of this right is shared between the spouses in the event of marriage. But if the marriage ends and the family contact is dissolved, the first to take custody of the child is his mother, unless there is an emergency that her right to so is waived. If the custody period ends, the rivalry between the parents intensifies, both of which want to take the child to his side. Then who decides the fate of the child in this period and does his choice have a role in resolving the dispute. And what if he chooses him together or the child chooses someone else or refrain from the child's choice to keep the child with him. This research comes to answer these and other questions? by speaking briefly about the legality of custody and it's general principles. And then the scholar sayings that the child has the right to choose between his parents at the end of custody period, to give their evidence, to discuss them, to weigh these statements, and to make a statement that is applicable in most famous personal status laws in the Arab countries.

The paper deals with Forward exchange contracts and Swap exchange contracts, These two types of contracts are among the most prominent types of financial derivative contracts that arose after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in 1971 or the so-called Nixon shock, where the convertibility of the dollar into gold was stoped, which led to turmoil in the exchange rates of the currencies of many countries and the emergence of the need to stabilize the exchange rate Currencies in transactions where the delivery of the two exchanges is delayed. This research has studied forward exchange contracts and swap exchange contracts in four sections. The first section defines the Forward exchange contract, which is a contract in which the two parties commit to exchange a specified amount of foreign currencies on a forward date, at a price agreed upon in advance. The elements and elements that must be mentioned in this contract, such as the seller and buyer, the size of the contract, the date of delivery and the forward exchange rate, were mentioned in this section, with an illustrative example of the mechanism of conducting this contract. In addition to addressing the differences between forward exchange contracts and future exchange contracts, the characteristics of forward exchange contracts and the purposes of those dealing with them from hedging and speculation are mentioned in this section. The second section has been devoted to the definition of swap exchange contracts, it is for the two parties to the contract to agree that one of them buys from the other a specific amount of a currency in exchange for a specific amount of another currency and at the current exchange rate, provided that the two exchanges are delivered immediately, and in the same contract, the two parties agree to make a forward reverse exchange contract, at a price determined within Contract, and to clarify the picture of swap exchange contracts, an example has been given to illustrate the mechanism for conducting this type of contract. In the third section, the views of contemporaries scholars regarding the İslamic law of the forward exchange contract were discussed, where the opinion of the objectors was mentioned at all and the evidence they inferred from it. And then the opinion of those who advocate the permissibility of forward exchange contracts that are in the form of a dating that is not binding on both parties together, provided that there is nothing in the dating that indicates that it is a contract of sale and provided that a new contract is delivered independent of the dating. Then I discussed the opinion and evidence of the impediments in four points, and I concluded that the most correct opinion at the first is the impermissibility of the forward exchange contract in the form such as the traditional banks do it because of the deception it contains. But I recanted and permitted this type of contract in two cases, the first: the case of need with the absence of an alternative, and the second: the case that transaction is not binding dating for both parties and on some terms. Some contemporary scholars suggested conducting buying and selling operations in the same currency as an alternative to forward exchange contracts, and some of them suggested that Islamic banks should have a common unit of account to settle accounts between the parties to commercial transactions. But in my opinion two solutions are often not feasible. As for the fourth section, I dealt with the opinions of contemporary scholars in the swap exchange contract. it seems likely to me that swap currency exchange contracts are nothing but a usurious loan that is prohibited by Sharia. Because when examining the mechanism of conducting this type of contract, it turns out that one of the parties lent the other an amount in one currency in exchange for the other lending him an amount in another currency under the name of the spot exchange contract. Since one of the two parties requires the other to increase what he lent - if the exchange rate of the Forward exchange contract is different from the Spot exchange rate, which is predominant - under the name of the Forward exchange contract, then this process is nothing but a usurious loan. I supported the proposal to exchange loans in different currencies as a İslamic alternative to transaction contracts, provided that there is no preference for one party over another, and there is no usurious increase. And in order to solve the problem of the high rate of currency inflation of one of the two loans more than the other, the researcher suggested adding the inflation rate to the two loans when they are performed.
