The family bond is considered an important and essential factor in criminalization and punishment. This specifically pertains to crimes related to the marital bond, represented in the crimes of abandoning the family home and adultery as stipulated in Articles 330 and 339 of the Penal Code, where prosecution is contingent upon a complaint from the aggrieved party, and this latter can be terminated by waiving it and by applying the mechanisms of mediation and pardon. Regarding crimes against children, the crimes of failing to deliver a custodial child and failing to pay alimony are specified in Articles 329 and 331 of the Penal Code, where the former is contingent upon a complaint and ends with a waiver. As for the crime of failing to pay alimony, its peculiarity lies in the territorial jurisdiction, which is the residence of the person obligated to receive the alimony, and prosecution ends with mediation or pardon. As for financial crimes such as theft among relatives and spouses, fraud, breach of trust, and concealing stolen property, the public prosecution is contingent upon a complaint submitted by the aggrieved party as stipulated in Articles 368, 369, 373, and 377 respectively, and waiving in these cases puts an end to the prosecution. As for the crimes of usurping the inheritance and the wife's property in the articles of the Penal Code, the Algerian legislator has specified mediation or pardon to end the dispute.otherThesis
