Foundation course on Muslim Law

The private sphere of one’s life, which includes marriage, divorce, maintenance, succession etc. is governed by personal laws. These personal laws are particularly influenced by the religious customs prevalent in different communities. The private sphere of Muslims is governed by the Muslim Personal Law or Muslim Law. Muslim law is that branch of civil law which regulates the family-matters of Muslims. The Muslims in India are primarily governed by the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937. However, over a period of time, a number of legislations were enacted and a number of judicial pronouncements were made, to deal with different aspects of the private sphere of Indian Muslims.

The Foundation course on Muslim Law aims to provide an overview of different aspects of Muslim Personal Law in India vis-à-vis marriage, dissolution of marriage, adoption, maintenance, guardianship and succession, by means of video lectures.

According to the law firm and our policy, the course fees will not be refunded.

In every walk of life, the process of evaluation takes place in one form or the other. If the evaluation process is eliminated from human life then perhaps the aim of life may be lost. Being in the same line, Enhelion is committed to evaluate the process of learning through its courses.

The enrollee will be evaluated based on a Project Assignment, which would test the analytical understanding of the topics covered in the video lectures. 

The most intriguing aspect of the evaluation process is the time flexibility it affords. You can choose to undergo the evaluation process as and when you are ready for the same.

To be eligible to receive a certificate after successful completion of the course, one is required to secure an overall minimum of 40 percent in the Project Assignment.
