AB This article examines how Tunisian judges since independence deal with childcare cases upon divorce. As a legal ethnographic study of ḥaḍāna (child custody) in contemporary Tunisia, this study aims to contribute to the existing literature on judicial practice in Muslim contexts. The article aims to reveal these judges’ understandings of child custody, of women’s and men’s roles in childcare, and of the rights and interests of children and how this understanding developed over time.
