“…In other words, exit rights for the Muslim minority may come about as a by‐product of reforms passed primarily to benefit the majority. For instance, Israeli Muslims can choose between civil and Islamic inheritance rules thanks to the Succession law of 1965, which initially intended to ameliorate gender inequalities of the Jewish inheritance rules by giving Israeli Jews a right to choose between religious and secular law (Yadin, 1953). Likewise, Muslim Thracians in Greece can choose between civil or shari‘a marriages thanks to Law 1250/1982, which ended the exclusive jurisdiction of the Greek Orthodox Church over marriage by declaring civil marriage legally equivalent to church marriages (Tsaoussis‐Hatzis, 2003).…”

Thirty-five Muslim-majority and 18 Muslim-minority countries formally integrate Muslim Family Laws (MFLs) into their legal systems and enforce them through state courts. Both Muslim-majority and Muslim-minority governments have undertaken legislative reforms to alleviate the effects of religious laws on fundamental human rights, increase accountability and accessibility, and strengthen the rule of law within their MFL systems. Extant literature is silent on whether MFLs are more reformed or more human rights and the rule of law compliant in Muslim-majority or Muslim-minority countries. Utilizing a novel methodological tool, the MFL Index, this exploratory article surveys cross-national and historical trends in MFL reform . It shows that Muslim-majority and -minority governments have opted for different forms of legislative reform. Muslim-majority countries favored substantive reform, while Muslim-minority states prioritized exit reforms. The type and extent of reform were strongly associated with colonial heritage, secularism, women's activism, ethnoreligious diversity, and prevailing multicultural arrangements. These findings have implications for studying multicultural theory, human/women's rights, and democratization in the Muslim world and beyond. | INTRODUCTION"The Muslim community in India has many problems. But I believe that Indian women under the Muslim personal law are better off than women under Islamic family laws in Iran or Saudi

The principles of the law of succession of the State of Israel are assembled in the Succession Law, 1965. This statute, consisting of eight chapters and 161 sections, constitutes a first attempt at codification of Israeli civil law. The statute was intended to end the recourse to the conglomeration of laws previously applied to a person's succession. We would emphasize in this context the provision of sec. 150 of the statute, which states: “In matters of succession, Article 46 of the Palestine Order-in-Council, 1922–47, shall not apply”.
