November 29, 2003. ש Steyn on Terrorism: "These five regimes must go". Eugene Volokh has some interesting comments on Islamic law in contracts. He notes one problem for judges: if a wedding ceremony has been conducted in an Islamic setting, does it incorporate standard default Islamic rules of marriage? Probably not. Having a Roman Catholic marriage does not rule out civil divorce, even though the intent of the two parties is clearly (at least before the Catholics starting using annulments as routine backdoor divorces) to disallow divorce.
