COMPARISON OF INHERITANCE OF LEGAL SYSTEM: INHERITANCE IN ISLAM, ANGLO-SAXON AND CONTINENTAL EUROPE
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to compare the concept of inheritance in three different legal systems: Islamic law, Anglo-Saxon law, and Continental European law. The main objective of this research is to analyze the differences, similarities, as well as the social and legal implications of these distinct inheritance systems. The research methodology involves a literature review and an analysis of relevant legislation concerning inheritance laws in the three legal systems under study. Data is collected from reliable primary and secondary sources, including Islamic legal texts, relevant statutes and court decisions in Anglo-Saxon law, and regulations and legal precedents in Continental European law. The findings of this study reveal that Islamic law governs inheritance based on Sharia principles, which divide the inheritance proportionally according to family relationships and religious provisions. Anglo-Saxon law adheres to the principles of intestate succession, where property is distributed to heirs based on the line of descent and specific rules in the law. On the other hand, the Continental European legal system bases the distribution of inheritance on a broader concept of lineage, encompassing more distant relatives as heirs. The social implications of these findings highlight the differences in how societies organize inheritance and the rights of heirs, which can impact fairness and harmony within families. From a legal perspective, the implications encompass variations in the protection of inheritance rights and the legal processes applicable in each legal system.
