Abstract

This Essay explores a type of legal pluralism found in secular societies, including the United States, in which minority groups adhere to unofficial religious law norms within a larger framework of state family law. Official and unofficial law are sometimes closely interwoven, as with the formalization of marriage, and sometimes stand directly in opposition, as with laws prohibiting the practice of polygamy. In an intermediate position, these societies have seen a complex interaction between secular and religious law in the context of marriage dissolution. The different opportunities presented by each legal system may generate significant strategic behavior by individuals, and these risks have prompted careful collaboration between religious and secular authorities in a number of jurisdictions. In this collaboration, the secular state helps religious communities to define a space and an identity, and simultaneously seeks to establish the basic guarantees of citizenship within the larger society for all group members.

非正式家庭法
本文探讨了在包括美国在内的世俗社会中发现的一种法律多元主义,在这种社会中,少数群体在国家家庭法的更大框架内坚持非官方的宗教法律规范。官方和非官方的法律有时紧密地交织在一起,如婚姻的正规化,有时直接对立,如禁止一夫多妻制的法律。在一个中间的位置,这些社会已经看到了在婚姻解除的背景下世俗和宗教法律之间复杂的相互作用。每个法律体系所提供的不同机会可能会产生重要的个人战略行为,这些风险促使许多司法管辖区的宗教和世俗当局之间进行谨慎的合作。在这种合作中,世俗国家帮助宗教团体定义空间和身份,同时寻求在更大的社会中为所有团体成员建立公民身份的基本保障。
