What is the Yemeni legal system like?

Yemen adopts a legal system based on Islamic law. The country's constitution is based on Islamic law, and this legal system requires that laws and decisions be created in accordance with the principles of the Islamic religion. The legal system in Yemen is divided into two main parts: Sharia Courts and Civil Courts. Sharia Courts deal with family, inheritance, divorce, criminal and other religious matters based on Islamic law, while Civil Courts deal with trade, business, contract and other civil matters. The laws in force in Yemen are based on Islamic law, as well as the constitution, customary law and laws passed by the Parliament. The functioning of the legal system is determined by a combination of Islamic law and local traditions. The legal system in Yemen is administered by religious leaders, judges, and experts trained in law. The application of law and the judicial process are carried out by these experts and decisions are made in accordance with the principles of Islamic law. However, factors such as the civil war and political instability in Yemen have negatively affected the effectiveness of the legal system. This situation brings difficulties in ensuring justice and effective implementation of the law.
