The attendees reviewed the work of these councils and the significant challenges and issues they face from their practical experiences, having studied approximately five thousand files related to Personal Status. It is worth mentioning that there are three other Personal Status Councils outside Egypt in America, Europe, and Australia with a coordination meeting to be held between them in the near future. Finally, the meeting concluded with several recommendations which we will begin to implement, by the Grace of Christ and His help.
