Muslims are the second largest religious community of India and therefore their personal law constitutes an important chapter of the Nation`s legal system.
This book offers a comprehensive study of the entire gamut of Muslim law as applicable in India. Extensive critiques of each of the legislative enactments of India in this sphere are followed by a lucid exposition of the principles of uncodified Muslim law in their true spirit and in conformity with the present-day social conditions.
With a view to inviting attention to the contemporary understanding of Muslim law elsewhere, the book ends with glimpses of its reform in many of the Muslim-dominated and Muslim-minority countries.
Texts of all statutory laws of India on the subject are included in the book and cases coverage is until January 2012.
