Afghan law is primarily based on a combination of Islamic law, known as Sharia, and civil law. The legal system has evolved over time, influenced by various historical events and regimes. The Constitution of Afghanistan, adopted in 2004, outlines the framework for governance and the rights of citizens, emphasizing the importance of human rights and equality. The judiciary in Afghanistan consists of several levels, including courts at the district, provincial, and supreme levels. Judges are expected to interpret laws in accordance with both Sharia and civil statutes. However, the legal system faces challenges, including limited resources and ongoing political instability.
