Sharia Court
A Sharia Court is a legal body that adjudicates matters based on Sharia, which is Islamic law derived from the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. These courts typically handle personal status issues such as marriage, divorce, and inheritance for Muslims. The application of Sharia can vary widely depending on the country and its legal system.
In some countries, Sharia Courts operate alongside secular courts, while in others, they may have exclusive jurisdiction over certain matters. The decisions made by these courts are often influenced by local customs and interpretations of Islamic law, reflecting the diverse practices within the global Muslim community.
