[edit] comment

For its importance as for the population, history, or number of states affected, the Bahá'í religious law is heavily overrepresented here. It should have a separate entry, and here a reference to less widespread religions should suffice. varbal 23:31, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hindu Article..

Hindu law is largely based on the Manu Smriti or 'Institutions of Manu.' It was recognized by the British after their occupation of India, but its influenced has largely waned in 20th century India with its general policies of secularization.

There is no 'hindu law'. Manu Smrti is one of the three major smrtis. It wasn't followed at any time in india, but as said britishers recognised it. The articles is a tad biased, and is also too short. 202.53.9.65 16:23, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Overly pro-religion?

I came here from the article on Law which is on today's front page. As a featured article, I would have expected the articles it links to as more neutral and unbiased.

I haven't edited the article, but wanted to ask if anyone else thinks that the opening paragraph is written in the correct context?

[edit] Sunni bias in Islam section

There aren't any Shia legal perspectives in the Islam section. That particular part of the article needs significant assistance (and needs to be kept in summary style while preserving nuance!) Neutrality^talk 09:23, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
