Code of Muslim Personal Laws of the Philippines by Ministry of Muslim Affairs

The Code of Muslim Personal Laws, otherwise known as Presidential Decree No. 1083, was enacted by President Ferdinand Marcos on February 7, 1977. The decree was enacted upon the advice of the now-defunct Commission on National Integration since Muslims (along with non-Christian indigenous peoples) would have only been allowed to get married under their customs and traditions until 1980 as originally stipulated in the Civil Code of the Philippines. The law recognized Sharia as part of the larger legal system of the country – although it only deals with Muslim customary and personal laws and exclude criminal law.
