Egypt

Article 2 of Egypt's 2014 Constitution declares the principles of Islamic sharia to be the main source of legislation. Egypt's law and enforcement system are in flux since its 2011 Revolution; however, the declaration of Sharia's primacy in Article 2 is a potential ground for unconstitutionality of any secular laws in Egyptian legal code. Sharia courts and qadis are run and licensed by the Ministry of Justice. The personal status law that regulates matters such as marriage, divorce and child custody is governed by sharia. In a family court, a woman's testimony is worth half of a man's testimony.

Morocco

In 1956, a Code of Personal Status (Mudawana) was issued, based on dominant Maliki school of Sharia jurisprudence. Regional Sharia courts also hear personal status cases on appeal. In matters of family law, a woman's testimony is worth only half of that of a man. With 2003 reforms of its criminal law, Article 222 of its new criminal code is derived from Sharia; Articles 220–221, 268–272 of its criminal law similarly codify those activities as crimes that are prohibited under Sharia. Morocco adopted a new constitution in 2011; Article 41 of this constitution granted sole power to the Superior Council of the Ulemas to guide its laws through Fatwas from principles, precepts and designs of Islam.

Bahrain

Article 2 of Bahrain's 2002 Constitution as originally adopted, as well as after February 2012 amendment, declares Islamic Sharia is a chief source of legislation. Four tiers of ordinary courts have jurisdiction over cases related to civil, administrative and criminal matters, with Court of Cassation the highest civil court in Bahrain; in all matters, the judges are required to resort to Sharia in case legislation is silent or unclear. Sharia courts handle personal status laws.

A personal status law was codified in 2009 to regulate personal status matters. It applies only to Sunni Muslims; there is no codified personal status law for Shiites. In a Shari’a court a Muslim woman's testimony is worth half of that of a Muslim man.

Jordan

Jordan has Sharia courts and civil courts. Sharia courts have jurisdiction over personal status laws, cases concerning Diya (blood money in cases of crime where both parties are Muslims, or one is and both the Muslim and non-Muslim consent to Sharia court's jurisdiction), and matters pertaining to Islamic Waqfs. The Family Law in force is the Personal Status Law of 1976, which is based on Sharia . In Sharia courts, the testimony of two women is equal to that of one man.

Kuwait

Article 2 of Kuwait's constitution identifies Islamic Sharia as a main source of legislation. According to the United Nations, Kuwait's legal system is a mix of British common law, French civil law, Egyptian civil law and Sharia. The sharia-based personal status law for Sunnis is based on the Maliki fiqh and for Shiites, their own school of Islam regulates personal status. Before a family court the testimony of a woman is worth half of that of a man. Kuwait blocks internet content prohibited by Sharia.

Palestine

The Egyptian personal status law of 1954 is applied. The personal status law is based on Sharia and regulates matters related to inheritance, marriage, divorce and child custody. Shari’a courts hear cases related to personal status. The testimony of a woman is worth only half of that of a man in cases related to marriage, divorce and child custody.

Qatar

Sharia is the main source of Qatari legislation according to Qatar's Constitution. Sharia is applied to laws pertaining to family law, inheritance, and several criminal acts (including adultery, robbery and murder). In some cases in Sharia-based family courts, a female's testimony is worth half a man's and in some cases a female witness is not accepted at all.

Flogging is used in Qatar as a punishment for alcohol consumption or illicit sexual relations. Article 88 of Qatar's criminal code declares the punishment for adultery is 100 lashes.[182] Adultery is punishable by death when a Muslim woman and a non-Muslim man are involved. In 2006, a Filipino woman was sentenced to 100 lashes for adultery. In 2012, six expatriates were sentenced to floggings of either 40 or 100 lashes. More recently in April 2013, a Muslim expatriate was sentenced to 40 lashes for alcohol consumption.[183][184][185] In June 2014, a Muslim expatriate was sentenced to 40 lashes for consuming alcohol and driving under the influence.

Judicial corporal punishment is common in Qatar due to the Hanbali interpretation of Sharia. Article 1 of the Law No. 11 of 2004 (Penal Code) allows for the application of "Sharia provisions" for the crimes of theft, adultery, defamation, drinking alcohol and apostasy if either the suspect or the victim is a Muslim.

Syria

Article 3 of the 1973 Syrian constitution declares Islamic jurisprudence one of Syria's main sources of legislation. The Personal Status Law 59 of 1953 (amended by Law 34 of 1975) is essentially a codified Sharia.[194] The Code of Personal Status is applied to Muslims by Sharia courts. In Sharia courts, a woman's testimony is worth only half of a man's.

    Good point, Donna!

    Thing is, we are already advancing the interests of women...for 20 effin years...in Afghanistan...

    ...until your guy Joe blew it for them.

    Biden finished what your buddy Trump started. Trump abandoned the Kurds and just a month ago was out there criticizing Biden for not abandoning Afghans.

    Instead of occupying parts of Afghanistan for 20 years, the US should have led an international effort to get any Afghans who wanted to leave out of the country.

    Donna,

    On Immaculation Day Joe signed 20 Executive Orders overturning Trump policies. Joe had no more obligation to complete the withdrawal from Afghanistan than he did to continue construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.

    Let me be clear that I only disagree with the withdrawal. I think it's tragic for women, but I'm only one citizen in a Representative Republic.

    What disgusts me about what happened in Afghanistan is the incompetent and dishonorable abandonment of the people who worked with us.

    I can't imagine that any person with a heart isn't as disgusted as I am.

    HtS,
    The Trump administration completed its reduction of forces in Afghanistan to 2,500 troops in January 2021, just before Biden's inauguration. A year earlier there had been about 15,000 troops there when Trump made a "peace deal" with Taliban.

    Joe signed 20 Executive Orders overturning Trump policies. Joe had no more obligation to complete the withdrawal from Afghanistan than he did to continue construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.

    Either Biden had to keep the agreement made by the prior president, or escalate back to sufficient combat ready levels. 300,000 Afghani troops couldn't or wouldn't stop the Taliban. Do you think 2,500 US troops would have had better success? (I agree, they couldn't have done any worse, but that's not the question)

    Bullfernerner, Curt, even with the reduced deployment, the Taliban was under control and no teen girls were given to Taliban warriors as sex slaves.

    I understand that I'm one of a very few who objected to the total withdrawal of out troops from Afghanistan.

    I know that I'm one of many who thinks Joe blew it.

    The Taliban wasn't under control. They were waiting America out.

    They were, no doubt. I don't think that they even dreamed that Joe would give them a gold engraved invitation. What a demented buffoon.

    Kayleigh McEnany, now a host of Fox's babe encrusted, OUTNUMBERED (Emily Compagno!!!!!) has been splaining how Trump would have executed the last stages of the withdrawal differently.

    I understand that Trump was on Sean's show last night to rail against the demented doddering old ex trucker and to give his side of the story. Trump can almost...note, ALMOST...be statesmen like in these moments.

    Bottom line. The ex trucker buffoon gifted Al Qaeda and the Taliban with $millions of weaponry paid for by you and me and po, too.

    And, that's not to mention the disastrous human cost. The lives that will be torturously destroyed because Joe broke America's pledge to its friends.

    Curt- Thanks for correcting the title.

    No problem, Donna.

    For those who might not know, article headlines and the article itself can be edited at the member page's dashboard by the author of the article.

    Incidentally, I added a little link feature on the right sidebar. If you click the the last commenter's name it takes you immediately to that commenter's first comment (which is sometimes the last). I haven't figured out yet how to always make it the last comment.


  10. by Donna on August 18, 2021 10:49 am
    Thanks. I didn't know about the edit feature.


  11. by Donna on August 18, 2021 10:59 am
    I went to my member's page but I didn't see where or how to edit one of my posts.


  12. by Curt_Anderson on August 18, 2021 3:34 pm
    Donna,
    On your member's page (see link below) there is a button called "dashboard" (see image). Click that button and you will see a list, in order, of your articles. The article titles are hotlinks which will open the edit function.
