SHARIA
Sharia law (Arabic: شريعة) is the body of Islamic law. The term means
"way" or "path"; it is the legal framework within which the
public and some private aspects of life are regulated for those living in a
legal system based on Islam.
Sharia
deals with all aspects of day-to-day life, including politics, economics,
banking, business law, contract law, sexuality, and social issues.
There is not a strictly codified uniform
set of laws that can be called Sharia. It is more like a system of several
laws, based on the Qur'an,Hadith and centuries of debate, interpretation and
precedent.

practices under Sharia

Muslim, Christian or Jewish woman. He cannot marry an atheist, agnostic or
polytheist.

requires the man to pay, or promise to pay some Mahr (property as brideprice)
to the woman. The married woman owns this property.
