The legal-family situation of female Moroccan immigrants in cannot be treated mechanically; rather, cultural aspects must also be taken into consideration. To this end the solutions offered under Private International Law linked to immigration must respect “cultural identity” and also “cultural diversity” common to these private relationships. Furthermore the Spanish system of Private International Law must promote the continuity of the family relations of people who migrate in their foreign place of origin. On the other hand, as part of the gradual formation of multicultural societies, the understanding of the role of public policy in relation with the legal-family situation of female Moroccan immigrants in is changing nowadays.
