Abstract

The disagreement of jurists regarding the right of a pregnant woman to receive alimony and its ownership during the period of Uddah (period for woman after divorce may not be married to another man) and also unconventional and laboratory fertility, is due to the difference of opinion regarding the nature of alimony for pregnancy, and this issue  has led to challenges that can be referred to the hardship and embarrassment of the woman, alimony on unconventional and illegitimate fertility, the diversity of the judicial procedure and the selection of the competent court regarding the cases related to the maintenance of the fetus. This study, which is done by descriptive and analytical approach and is written in a library document method, after examining the nature of alimony for the fetus in the opinions of jurists and jurists in terms of addition to the alimony of kinship or marriage, explains the effects and challenges caused by this difference and suggests determining an identity independent of marriage and kinship for fetus alimony as a solution to the existing challenges and to create unity of judicial procedure.
