Should a democratic regime formally incorporate religious laws and courts into its otherwise secular legal system? This is not a hypothetical question. Some democratic nations already formally integrate religion-based laws in the field of family law (especially Muslim Family Law – MFL). Although state-enforced MFLs often affect human rights negatively, many governments, especially non-Muslim majority ones, have refrained from direct legislative interventions into substantive MFLs. Instead they have empowered civil courts to play the role of “reformer.” But how successful have civil judiciaries in non-Muslim regimes been in “reforming” Muslim laws? On the basis of an analysis of the MFL jurisprudence of Israeli and Greek civil courts over the last three decades, I argue that civil courts could not have brought about any direct changes in Muslim law, however, they have had an indirect effect by pressuring religious courts/authorities to undertake self-reform.

以色列和希腊的穆斯林家庭法:非穆斯林法庭能否带来伊斯兰教法的法律变革?


一个民主政权是否应该将宗教法律和法院正式纳入其世俗法律体系?这不是一个假设性的问题。一些民主国家已经正式将基于宗教的法律纳入家庭法领域(尤其是穆斯林家庭法——MFL)。尽管国家强制执行的 MFL 通常会对人权产生负面影响,但许多政府,尤其是非穆斯林占多数的政府,都避免直接立法干预实质性 MFL。相反,他们授权民事法庭扮演“改革者”的角色。但是,非穆斯林政权的民事司法机构在“改革”穆斯林法律方面有多成功?根据对以色列和希腊民事法庭在过去三十年中 MFL 判例的分析,我认为民事法庭不可能对穆斯林法律带来任何直接变化,
