Abstract
In this chapter, the focus moves to the Islamization of government in Turkey and Pakistan with the analysis of the Islamic basis of family law. Turkey’s family law was initially based on Islamic tradition but, in 1926, the Swiss Civil Code was adopted as the Turkish Civil Code. Since then, Islamic influence has been negligible. Due to an increase in Erdogan’s power, this might change in near future. Pakistan’s Muslim family law ordinance, 1961, was based on Islamic tradition but influenced by modernity. However, in the 1980s and 1990s, several laws, including the Hudood Ordinances, were promulgated that evinced an overwhelming Islamic trend. In the current era, the tide has turned and Islamic content has gradually been decreasing; for example, the Women’s Protection Law.
