Laws that are based on religion are called religious laws or theocratic laws, and are typically found in countries or regions where the government is closely aligned with a particular religious faith. These laws are often based on the moral and ethical teachings of that religion, and may cover a wide range of issues, including criminal law, family law, and personal status law. Some examples of religious laws include:
- Sharia law in Muslim-majority countries, which is based on Islamic law and covers issues such as criminal law, marriage, divorce, and inheritance.
- Halakha, which is the Jewish legal system based on the Torah and Talmud.
- Canon law which is the system of laws and regulations made by or adopted by the Catholic Church.
It's worth noting that in some countries, there is a separation between the state and the religion, and the laws are not based on any religious teachings but are rather secular laws. But in other countries, the laws are heavily influenced by the religion and the laws are based on religious teachings and scriptures.
