I will concentrate here on the Arab countries. It punishes any religious conversion of Muslims, adherence to religions not recognised by Islamic law and critics of Islamic norms. Critics of non-Islamic norms are encouraged. Apostates and adherents of unrecognised religions may not be married. If a person becomes Muslim, his non-Muslim heirs are deprived of the inheritance.
Apostasy constitutes an impediment to inheritance.
In case of apostasy, the apostate has no right to custody of the child. In many Arab and Muslim countries, domestic employees are treated as slaves. Religious norms are a major obstacle to the acceptance of International human rights standards by Arab and Muslim countries. For relations between Muslims and non Muslims, it is primordial that only one family law and one judicial jurisdiction exist in each country, without discrimination between religious groups or between men and women. The above mentioned violations are important.
