the College of Law at Cihan University – Duhok held a workshop on “Sound Marriage: The Foundation of a Sound and Healthy Society,”

On Wednesday, October 16, 2024, the College of Law at Cihan University – Duhok held a workshop on “Sound Marriage: The Foundation of a Sound and Healthy Society,” presented by Professor Dr. Ismail Ababakr Bamarni. The workshop addressed several topics related to making sound marriage decisions, aiming to raise awareness and promote a healthy understanding of marriage among students. This is particularly important as many university students are at a sensitive age and approaching marriage. It is well-established that marriage, when based on sound decisions and a solid foundation, forms a strong pillar of a sound and healthy society. Conversely, any flaw in the marital system will negatively impact society, given that the family is the fundamental building block of any community.

At the end of the workshop, a discussion session was held, allowing attendees the opportunity to ask questions.
