Abstract

Abstract I explain the effects of British legislation on Indian Muslim culture in terms of inheritance, endowments, dower, and maintenance. I explain the process that resulted in the syncretism of Islamic and British law and the new, hybridized legal system known as Anglo-Muhammadan Law. I describe the various ways in which Islamic financial institutions and practices were altered by British interpretation and enforcement of translations of texts on Islamic jurisprudence.
