Why the role of religious tribunals in the legal system should not be expanded

Abstract

Evaluates arguments supporting an expanded role for religious courts and tribunals within the secular legal system, including that: (1) the denial of religious jurisdiction over civil law matters forces litigants to choose between their legal rights and religious identities; (2) secular court supervision can protect women and sexual minorities from oppressive decisions; and (3) the secular legal order can influence change in the religious law
