Law of Bahrain

Mixed and Hybrid Legal Systems

The law of Bahrain is set out in its constitution, and the legal system of the kingdom combines civil law, drawn particularly from Egyptian law which is itself heavily based on French law, with Islamic law. Amiri decrees and other legislative enactments supplement this mixed constitutional and religious framework.

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.

In Legal System

Family classification carried over from this entity's own recorded SubLabel (Mixed and Hybrid Legal Systems), assigned under the section-legal-systems structure wave (ruling 761) using the CIA World Factbook / JuriGlobe comparative-law family classification (system.Atlas.DataBrief, law). This edge materializes that existing classification as a connective fact; it is not a new independent research finding.
