Name two resemblances and two differences between Islamic and Hindu law.
- Both have religious writings at the base of their social and/or economic life
- Both are influenced by their colonial period
- Islamic = Koran, if customary law from the Arab peoples did not seem to go well with the belief in Allah, Muhammad would change or add to the customary law. Sunna, documents contain material of the successive stages of doctrinal development during the first centuries of Islam – only 1 god (Allah)
- Hindu – does not matter where you live, the law always applies to you.
