Anglo-Muhammadan Law: A Digest Preceded by a Historical and Descriptive Introduction of the Special Rules Now Applicable to Muhammadans As Such by the Civil Courts of British India, With Full References to Modern and Ancient Authorities

Anglo-Muhammadan Law A Digest by Sir Roland Knyvet Wilson is a comprehensive legal reference that outlines the special rules applied to Muslims by British civil courts in colonial India. The work begins with a historical and descriptive introduction explaining the development and adaptation of Islamic law under British administration. It then presents a systematic digest of legal principles governing areas such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, and property. Drawing on both classical Islamic sources and British legal precedents, the book serves as a practical guide for judges, lawyers, and scholars. It reflects Wilson’s aim to harmonize Islamic traditions with colonial legal systems.
