Religious Law Systems

Jain law, or Jaina law, is the modern interpretation of ancient Jain legal tradition, setting out rules for adoption, marriage, succession and death for followers of Jainism. It forms part of India's personal religious law framework, governing family and personal matters within Jain communities, and draws on ancient Jain philosophical texts, though it underwent significant modernization in the early twentieth century through scholars such as Champat Rai Jain.

In Legal Family

Entity-backed identity for the legal family value this legal-system already carries as an enum fact, resolved to a legal-system entity by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The enum fact itself stays on the entity unchanged.
