Syariah Courts
Syariah Courts are specialized legal institutions that operate in some countries to adjudicate matters related to Islamic law, or Sharia. These courts primarily handle personal status issues such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, and child custody for Muslims. Their jurisdiction varies by country, and they often coexist with civil courts.
The judges in Syariah Courts are typically trained in Islamic jurisprudence and are responsible for interpreting and applying Sharia principles. While these courts aim to provide justice within the framework of Islamic teachings, their decisions can sometimes be subject to review by higher civil courts, depending on the legal system in place.
