Description:
The Islamic Family Law Project website is based at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia. The Project surveyed the application of Islamic family law in a selection of countries and explored the possibilities for reform. A regional breakdown of Islamic countries around the world is given on the site, with a profile of each region consisting of historical and religious background, family issues, legal practices and institutions and a list of references. There are legal profiles for each country within these regions which include an outline and history of the legal system, constitutional status of Islamic law, relevant legislation, case reporting system and schools of Fiqh (system of jurisprudence). This site has not been updated since 2002.
