Greek lawmakers decided to end the 1920 Treaty of Sevres and the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne, which stipulated that Islamic customs and religious law would apply to the thousands of Muslims who have become Greek citizens. Muslims in the country can now choose the secular court system to resolve family disputes instead. The related law, passed by the Greek Parliament in early January, allows Muslims to go before a Greek court for divorce, child custody and inheritance matters instead of appealing to Islamic jurists, so-called muftis, who critics say often discriminate against women.
