Religious law

Religious law refers to legal systems derived from the principles, teachings, and texts of a particular faith. These laws guide moral conduct, social behavior, and community responsibilities in accordance with religious beliefs. Examples include Islamic Sharia, Jewish Halakha, and Canon Law in Christianity. They often cover personal issues like marriage and diet, as well as civil matters, influencing how followers live and interact within their communities. While they may coexist with secular laws, religious laws are primarily rooted in spiritual doctrines and religious authority, shaping the moral framework of adherents.
