No Shari’a Act
S 3008, the "No Shari’a Act," prohibits U.S. courts from enforcing judgments based on Shari’a or foreign law if those judgments violate constitutional rights, particularly in family law cases involving marriage, divorce, child custody, or inheritance. The bill requires courts to apply only U.S. law and clarifies that contract clauses selecting foreign law remain valid unless enforcement infringes constitutional rights. It applies to all federal, state, and territorial courts, including arbitration decisions subject to judicial enforcement. The bill does not restrict personal religious practices but mandates that court decisions comply with U.S. constitutional protections.
