In Sahyouni (2017), which instrument is applied for cross-border religious divorces, given that Rome III and Brussels IIter do not apply?

When cross-border religious divorces fall outside the reach of Rome III and Brussels IIter, a specific private international law rule applies to recognition and effects. In Sahyouni (2017), CODIP (Article 57) is identified as the instrument governing such cases. CODIP, the relevant private international law code, provides a dedicated pathway for how a religious divorce obtained abroad is recognized and given civil effects in the jurisdiction applying CODIP, including the steps and conditions involved. This fills the gap left when the EU instruments don’t apply, offering a clear framework for legal certainty in cross-border religious dissolutions.
