According to Islamic law, an orphan is an under-aged child (saghīr) before the age of puberty whose father or both his/her parents have died. In late-nineteenth century Tashkent after Russians’ penetrating into the region, qaḍīs (Muslim judges) continued to register cases but in different forms. The main argument of this paper is that traditional madrasas and maktabs (schools) maintained practices in Tashkent, despite Russian colonialism affecting Muslims qāḍīs’ court practices. It is this issue that I attempt to answer through analysis of the nineteenth-century archival sources.
