PFL: Plural Family Law Review is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to the study of family law in plural legal orders worldwide. PFL examines how religious law, customary law, indigenous law, tribal law, state codification, and inherited civil/common law systems interact in matters of marriage, divorce, parenthood, custody, inheritance, domestic violence, and family welfare-across all jurisdictions where legal plurality shapes family life.
PFL is the first scholarly journal to adopt legal pluralism as its principal analytical lens for family law inquiry, providing a dedicated forum where the encounter between religious, customary, indigenous, and state legal orders in family matters can be examined as a coherent scholarly field.
