Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937

The Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937, is a law in India that specifies that Muslim personal matters—like marriage, divorce, inheritance, and family affairs—are governed by Islamic law (Shariat). It applies to Muslims in India, allowing them to follow their religious principles in personal legal issues. The Act ensures these matters are managed according to Islamic traditions, but it also operates within the framework of Indian law, respecting the country's legal system while accommodating religious customs for Muslims.
