Islamic personal law
Islamic personal law, also known as Sharia law, governs various aspects of personal life for Muslims, including marriage, divorce, inheritance, and family relations. It is based on the Quran and Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad). The law addresses issues like the rights and duties of spouses, the process of divorce, custody of children, and distribution of property after death. Different countries may implement these laws to varying degrees, blending traditional practices with local legal systems. Overall, Islamic personal law aims to provide ethical guidance and ensure justice within family and social structures.
