Munakahat: Journal of Islamic Family Law applies a double-blind peer-review process to manuscripts that pass the initial editorial assessment.
Submitted manuscripts are first screened by the editorial team for originality, relevance to the journal's aims and scope, basic academic quality, and compliance with submission requirements. Manuscripts that meet these requirements are assigned to qualified reviewers according to their expertise.
Reviewers evaluate the manuscript independently, considering its originality, relevance, theoretical contribution, methodological rigor, quality of analysis, clarity of presentation, and appropriate use of references. The identities of authors and reviewers are kept confidential throughout the review process.
Based on the reviewers' recommendations and the editorial assessment, manuscripts may be accepted, accepted subject to revision, returned for major revision, or rejected. Authors may be required to revise their manuscripts and respond to reviewers' comments before a final decision is made.
The final publication decision is made by the editorial team based on scholarly quality and the journal's publication standards. The journal aims to conduct the review process in a fair, transparent, timely, and academically independent manner.
