Abstract

Reconciliation between spouses is both a religious necessity and a legal strategy. As such, mechanisms and procedures have been established in both religious and legal frameworks to address marital disputes. Among these mechanisms are social reconciliation councils, which aim to resolve conflicts before resorting to formal courts. These councils operate within an organized legal framework that entails numerous obligations and consequences. In Algerian society, such councils play a significant role in mediating disputes. However, their effectiveness varies depending on the competence of the council members, including jurists, legal experts, community leaders, and wise individuals who facilitate conflict resolution, reconciliation, or mitigation.
