An Ecclesiastical Court is a type of court that deals with matters related to the church and its governance. These courts handle issues such as marriage, divorce, and the conduct of clergy, often based on religious laws rather than civil law. They are typically found within specific religious denominations, such as the Anglican Church or the Catholic Church. These courts operate under their own set of rules and procedures, which may differ significantly from secular courts. Decisions made by ecclesiastical courts can affect the lives of individuals within the religious community, emphasizing the importance of spiritual and moral considerations in their rulings.
