Canon Law and Other Religious Legal Orders

The law of the Christian churches and of smaller religious communities that keep their own legal order, among them the Bahai faith, together with religious law taken as a general category. A legal system belongs here when its cited article describes church law or the laws of a faith community that is not Islamic, Jewish, Hindu or Jain. It excludes the groups for those four traditions. Treat a single faith legal order as in scope even when only a few adherents are named.
