The Muslim community and English law
This article addresses what are perceived as being the main areas of English law likely to present Muslims in Britain with problems or difficulties. Some English legal provisions relating to the family, education and religious freedom are inconsistent with Islamic beliefs and practices. While English law has to be obeyed by all those living in England, there are plenty of opportunities for Muslims to exploit its liberal principles and practical f…

The significance of ethnic minority customs and traditions in English criminal law
It is generally assumed to be a cardinal principle of the administration of the criminal law that everyone is treated equally. This article reveals that, while this principle is normally meant to be adhered to in English law, there are several situations in which the criminal justice system may take account of the customs and traditions of the various ethnic minority communities established in this country. An act which would be penalised if comm…
African Customs in an English Setting
Although there are no reliable, detailed official figures as to the present ethnic composition of the population of Great Britain, a recent survey by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys has estimated that the number of Africans settled here is just over 100,000. Many more, of course, arrive in Britain each year as students or visitors. Indeed, in 1986 the volume of visitors from Nigeria and Ghana was considered by the British Government…

The Definition of Marriage in English Law
Marriage, Divorce and Legitimacy in Lesotho
This paper seeks to explore some of the cardinal principles of Sesotho law in relation to marriage, divorce and the legitimacy of children and to consider how far these have been subjected to change during the course of the present century. The method chosen to illustrate this process is a detailed examination of a single unreported case which came before the Lesotho courts during 1971–4, but in which the crucial events which required legal inter…

The Common Law in Lesotho
Whereas the reception and operation of English law in West and East Africa have been the subject of much study over the last few years, the introduction and application of Roman-Dutch law in Southern Africa (apart from South Africa itself) have received scant treatment. 1 This article deals only with the position in Lesotho and attempts to show the extent to which Lesotho's legal system is tied to that of the Republic of South Africa, and thus st…
