About this document
Understanding Muslim Law in India by Aisha Hassan Ali is a document available to read on EtoBox.
- Muslim law is founded on the Quran and Sunnah (traditions of the Prophet Muhammad). It governs personal matters for Muslims in India. - There are two categories of Muslims under Muslim law - Muslims by birth if either parent is Muslim, and Muslims by religious conversion through a formal ceremony. - Conversion to Islam subjects one to Muslim law for matters like inheritance. Renunciation of Islam dissolves the marriage of a Muslim husband but not a Muslim wife.
