Anti-sharia laws stripped ordinary Muslim wills and contracts of enforceability

Evidence

What this meant is that wills, private contracts, and marriage contracts that involved religious law were nonjusticiable. These quotidian concerns of ordinary people are the examples provided by the proponents of these anti-sharia measures as examples of stealth jihad and the overthrow of the constitutional order. For example, a will that is executed according to sharia principles similarly would not be enforceable. — Cyra Akila Choudhury, Racecraft and Identity in the Emergence…, 277
