REFORMATIONS IN MUSLIM LAW IN THE PRESENT WORLD AND CONSISTENCY WITH ISLAMIC PRINCIPLES
Abstract
Reformation of any law is necessary for adaptation of it with the passage of time. So is the personal law of the muslims. The Muslim Personal Law (Shariat ) Application Act, 1937 states certain personal issues of the muslims will be dealt with pure sharia law of those. Legal provisions on several issues like inheritance, custody and guardianship of a child, dissolution of marriage, polygamy etc. have been changed, supplemented or reformed by statutory laws of the state as well as by judicial precedents. These reforms have made significant changes to the interpretation, application and clarification to the classical muslim laws. In many cases the reforms made so far are derogatory from classical laws on the issues. This paper tries to find out those reforms and analyse them based on their consistency with the Islamic sources of law.
