s 14Interim orders

(1)

When an application for an adoption order is made, the Syar’ie

Judge may —

(a)

if he thinks necessary for the maslahah of the child, postpone the determination of the application; and

(b)

make an interim order, which shall not be deemed to be an adoption order for the purposes of this Act, giving the custody of the child to the applicant for a period not less than 3 months and not more than 2 years by way of a probationary period upon such terms as regards provision for the maintenance, education and supervision of the welfare of the child and otherwise as the Syar’ie Judge thinks fit.

(2)

If the probationary period has ended satisfactorily, the Syar’ie

Judge may, if he thinks fit, make an adoption order authorising the applicant to adopt the child.
