Jordan's Ministry of Justice launched the "Family Mediation" initiative offering a friendly alternative to resolve family disputes before resorting to courts, as part of modernising the family justice system.

Initiative Details

  • Specialised family mediation centres in Amman, Zarqa, and Irbid.
  • Certified mediators — lawyers, psychologists, and social counsellors.
  • Free or subsidised sessions for low-income families.
