Summary: Recognising foreign measures on the protection of the child that do not have equivalence with the Spanish ones may be difficult. However, this is not the only problem that rhe protection of a foreign child may raise; it can also be the case that the child's personal (Muslim) law forbids to adopt certain protecting measures (such as adoption) which are, on the contrary, usual under Spanish law. Kafola is an islamic legal institution that raises these issues. The Spanish Law on International adoption provides an answer to both questions, in particular by forbidding the adoption of these children as a general rule. The Spanish solution does not differ much from other European rules that address the same problem. Ir also aligns with the case law of the ECtHR. However, a critical assessment of rhe reasonability of the Spanish solution in light of the best interest of the child is needed.
