Civil law in Islamic contexts is primarily based on Sharia, which is derived from the Quran and the Hadith (the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad). Sharia encompasses various aspects of life, including personal conduct, family relations, and social justice. It is interpreted through various schools of thought, leading to different applications in different cultures and legal systems. In many countries, civil law may incorporate elements of Sharia alongside secular laws.

Dutch civil law is based on French civil law, which in turn is based on Roman civil law. In 1992 new law codes which were heavily influenced by German civil law, which in turn is also based on Roman civil Law, were introduced. Dutch civil law affects the Dutch as it is the law of Holland.
