translate English to French: As for article 3 (5) of the Optional Protocol, which refers to adoption, and as for the reservation which the State of Kuwait made to it, because the sharia prohibits adoption - Islam being the country's official religion - we should point out that Islam prohibits adoption in order to avert any problems that it could create, such as confusion over descent and the granting of rights to persons not entitled to them.
Tout en interdisant l'adoption, l'islam autorise une autre forme de prise en charge de l'enfant, la kafala, qui remplit la même fonction que l'adoption, à savoir assurer une protection et une vie décente aux enfants sans famille (enfants nés de parents inconnus orphelins, enfants issus de familles brisées, etc.).
