Die Anwendung religiös geprägten Rechts durch deutsche Gerichte

Abstract

Foreign law based on religious law is relevant before German courts if it is applicable according to the rules of private international law due to a connection to the respective country and does not lead to a violation of public policy. This is particularly evident in family and inheritance law. For instance, it arises in relation to a divorce, the effects of polygamous marriages or a dower, and inheritance rights.
