This study examines the transformation of Tunisia’s Islamic religious judiciary following the enactment of the Code of Personal Status (CPS) in 1956 and its impact on family law. The research focuses on changes in the authority and institutional position of religious courts after independence under President Habib Bourguiba. The CPS reforms reduced the jurisdiction of religious courts and transferred family law matters, including marriage and divorce, to a unified state judicial system. Using a qualitative library research method, this study analyzes legislation, historical documents, fatwas, and relevant scholarly works through a descriptive-analytical approach. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on the institutional transformation of religious courts rather than solely on substantive family law reforms. The findings show that Tunisia developed a hybrid legal model that combines Islamic legal values with a modern state legal framework. While this transformation promoted legal modernization and strengthened women’s rights, it also generated tensions between religious authority and secular state governance. The Tunisian experience illustrates how legal reform can reshape both family law and religious judicial institutions in a Muslim-majority society.
