How is the Islamic family and personal status law judicial system divided in the Kingdom of Bahrain?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Sunni and Ja'fari courts
- Step 1: Bahrain's Sharia judicial system is organized into two distinct departments: the Sunni Sharia Court and the Ja'fari Sharia Court.
- Step 2: Each department handles marriage, divorce, inheritance, and custody in accordance with the specific jurisprudence of its community.
Answer
Sunni and Ja'fari courts.
Why not the others: 'Hanafi and Maliki branches' are distinct schools within Sunni fiqh; 'Civil and Military chambers' refers to regular judicial separation; 'Federal and Regional benches' does not describe Bahrain's legal structure.
