Article summary: 

The article highlights the unified personal status law for Christians.  The author reports on the unified personal status law for Christians and states that there are reservations on the chapter covering the issue of adoption.

This article will hinder the passage of the law because although adoption is allowed in Christianity, it is impermissible in Islam. [Reviewer's note: The process of adopting a child is permissible in Islam. It is the giving up a child for adoption that is impermissible.] Hence, the church is re-considering repealing this chapter in an attempt to facilitate the passage of the law.
