Abstract
The "kafala" is an institution for the protection of children, which may have different meanings in different social contexts. The legal problem is related to the delicate balance between the imperative to protect children adoption procedeeings, and respect for public order. It is also necessary to evaluate the coexistence of multiple factors, inter alia, such as the linkage of kafala to religious freedom based on a Koranic precept.
