The research project draws upon International Law, regarding the line of research of Private International Law, to work towards feasible forms of inter-cultural legal situations recognition in contemporary Private International Law through a dialogue with Human Rights, insofar as having as a specific analysis object the matter of LGBTQIA+ Families according to Islamic Law. However, by knowing that such is a system of religious inception in Islam and in its traditional legal expression is unable to properly gather rights referring to sexual orientation diversity as well as gender identity, and hence to provide for these families when constituting themselves transnationally with with a country that follows Islamic Law, we propose a new reflection on the current chapter of legal situations recognition in Private International Law given the expansion of the grammar of Human Rights and inter-cultural situations. Thus, for establishing the basis of such rereading of the institution and constituting a new interpretation accounting for Islamic legal parameters, we indicate as theoretical cornerstones the body of jurists composed by Léna Gannagé, Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im and André de Carvalho Ramos, the latter, respectively by An-Na'im's Theories of Inner and Outer Dialogue (Diálogos Interno e Externo) and Carvalho Ramos's International Interpretation of Human Rights (Interpretação Internacional dos Direitos Humanos). Finally, the refereed theoretical body is anchored on Ludovic Mohamed Zahed's propositions of an Islam inclusive towards both gender orientation diversity and gender identity. Therefore, we stablish a methodology backed by the critical-dialectical epistemological paradigm, with bibliographic-documental research techniques followed by a qualitative empirical analysis of our object by means of conducted interviews. Finally, we account for an analysis of Comparative Islamic Law in itself.
