Abstract
This chapter discusses the question that arises when the judge in a family court in Europe is obliged to consider the degree of recog- nition to be given to family laws practiced and obeyed by immi- grant communities that clash with the domestic legal culture. I will focus on the position of Muslim women in that debate.
