Council of Ministers approves revised Christian Communities law
The Council of Ministers has approved an amended draft law for the Christian Denominations Councils Law of 2026, aiming to define their competencies and organize their religious affairs and personal status matters in accordance with their laws and doctrinal rules, while taking into account the provisions of the Jordanian Constitution. The amendments include recognizing issues such as marriage, divorce, wills, and adoption as matters within the jurisdiction of church courts, and clarifying the responsibilities of the denominations' councils in organizing the affairs of their Christian community members. The law will be forwarded to the House of Representatives for ratification.
