Preferred term

Islamic law of family relationships  

Definition

  • Many observers view contemporary Islamic law as largely reduced to matters of personal status: marriage, divorce, custody, support, and the like. However, Islamic law is characterized less by substantive bodies of rules and regulations—important as these are—than by the modes of legal reasoning, the styles of adducing evidence, and the cultural assumptions that crosscut legal domains.
