A religious law system is a legal framework based on the religious doctrines, sacred texts, and moral principles of a particular faith. It governs various aspects of life, including personal relationships, property matters, and social behavior.
The influence of religious law can vary from country to country, ranging from full to partial application, coexisting with civil law.

Types of Religious Law and where they are used
Canon Law (Christianity): Historically, and to some extent today, influences family law, property issues, and church organization in various countries.
Islamic Law (Sharia): Used in countries in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
Hindu Law: Influences family law in India.
Jewish Law (Halakha): Applied in Israel in some aspects of family law.
In the Vatican, canon law is in effect, as well as secular law passed by the Holy See. Canon law is the basis of the legal system.

Canon Law in the Vatican
The Code of Canon Law of St. Pope John Paul II is considered the highest regulatory act of the Vatican.
• Sources: Sacred Scripture, decisions of Ecumenical Councils, papal bulls, and decrees.
• Foundations: Divine revelation, Church traditions, and reason.
• Regulates organization and governance of the Catholic Church, rights and duties of the faithful, performance of sacraments, Church property, resolution of disputes within the Church.

Principles of Religious Law (Canon Law Example)
• Justice: protecting the rights and dignity of every person.
• Mercy: forgiveness and leniency toward sinners.
• Hierarchy: subordination of lower ranks to higher ranks.
• Sanctity: respect for sacred objects and rituals.
• Inevitability of punishment: repentance or punishment follows the commission of sin.

The primary difference between religious, continental, and common law lies in the sources of law. Religious law is based on sacred scriptures and religious doctrines, while continental law utilizes codified laws and regulations, and common law relies on judicial precedents.
