Protecting Constitutional Rights: Banning Foreign Law Application in US Courts.
This law ensures that only United States laws are applied in American courts, preventing any foreign legal system, including religious law, from violating citizens' constitutional rights. This means that in family matters like divorce or child custody, your fundamental rights, such as equality and due process, will always take precedence. The goal is to protect all citizens, especially women and children, from potential inequality arising from foreign legal codes.
Key points
US courts cannot enforce rulings based on foreign law (including religious law) if it violates constitutional rights (e.g., equality, freedom of speech).
In family matters (divorce, child custody, inheritance), only federal and state laws apply, guaranteeing full protection of civil rights.
The changes apply to all federal and state courts, as well as arbitration tribunals whose decisions are subject to judicial enforcement.
