      When Religion Meets Family Law: A Comparison of Sharia Law in US and English Courts

      11 AM EST

      This session will consider the differences in the jurisdictions of England and Wales, and the United States, when dealing with Sharia matters in family proceedings. With 1.8 billion Muslims (28 July 2023) across the world, and an increasingly relaxed approach by some communities towards divorce, family law cases are growing rapidly and therefore a discussion of the crossover of the two legal systems is more pertinent than ever.
