CIL was first introduced to accomodate the interests of Muslim families in Indonesia's legal system. CIL provides guidelines and references for judges at Religious Court in handling legal issues related to Muslim families. CIL was also introduced to provide Islamic judges alternative reference other than the conventional fiqh, which, in many cases, are not relevant to the current context of Muslim lives.
