Routledge Handbook of Religious Laws
No full textMuch has been written on specific religious legal systems, yet substantial comparative studies that strive to compare systems, identifying their analogies and differences, have been relatively few. This absence undermines the capacity to understand religions and becomes particularly serious when the faithful of these religions live together in the same geographical space, as happens today with increasing frequency. Both interreligious dialogue and dialogue between States and religions presuppose a set of data and information that only comparative research can provide.
This book seeks to address this gap in the literature by presenting a comparative analysis of Christian, Jewish, Islamic and Hindu laws and traditions. Divided into five parts, the first part of the book offers the historical background for the legal analysis that is developed in the subsequent parts. Part II deals with the sources of law in the four religions under discussion. Part III addresses the dynamics of belonging and status, and Part IV looks at issues relating to the conclusion of marriage and its dissolution. The fifth and final part discusses how each religion views the legal other. Each part concludes with exploring what we can learn from a comparative examination of the topic that is dealt with in that part.
Written by leading experts in the field, this book presents a clear and comprehensive picture of key religious legal systems along with a substantial bibliography. It provides a state of the art overview of scholarship in this area accompanied by a critical evaluation. As such, it will be an invaluable resource for all those concerned with religious legal systems, multiculturalism and comparative law

Introduction. Religious laws and their comparison: theoretical and methodological issues
No full textThis chapter argues that in a religiously diversified society, knowing different religious legal systems is not enough to build a legal framework that grants religious freedom and examines the faithful of various religions to live together in peace. It addresses these concerns contending that comparison at the level of religious laws ought to occur. Academics have paid increased attention to the international and national laws affecting religion, extending attention beyond constitutional provisions concerning religion to explore human rights, discrimination law, criminal law and other provisions that affect individual and collective religious freedom. Understanding religion involves not only knowing the religious dimensions of another person’s cultural universe but also constantly comparing them with those of other cultural universes. Concepts, understandings and meanings differ significantly in different contexts both when comparing the religious with the non-religious and when comparing different religions. The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book
Religious Rules, State Law, and Normative Pluralism. A Comparative Overview
No full textThis book is devoted to the study of the interplay between religious rules and State law. It explores how State recognition of religious rules can affect the degree of legal diversity that is available to citizens and why such recognition sometime results in more individual and collective freedom and sometime in a threat to equality of citizens before the law. The first part of the book contains a few contributions that place this discussion within the wider debate on legal pluralism. While State law and religious rules are two normative systems among many others, the specific characteristics of the latter are at the heart of tensions that emerge with increasing frequency in many countries. The second part is devoted to the analysis of about twenty national cases that provide an overview of the different tools and strategies that are employed to manage the relationship between State law and religious rules all over the world
