Part of the prominent Islamic sharia law during the Ottoman Empire was family law. This law deals with marriage, children, and divorce. Family law belongs to the category of private law in the Ottoman Empire. Family law and inheritance are at the center of Ottoman law, and therefore least influenced by the penetration of foreign law. Family law also has an important role in establishing gender roles in Islamic societies in the Ottoman Empire. During the Tanzimat Period in the Ottoman Empire with a new focus of the Empire on bureaucracy, they began to gather information about families living under their rule including birth, marriage, and death.

Utsmaniyah Family Rights Act
The Law of the Ottoman Family Rights was a new codification of Ottoman law that emerged in 1917. This law remained legitimate in Jordan until 1951, and Syria in 1949. This still applies to Israeli and Lebanese Muslims. This law re-establishes family law, particularly in matters of marriage and divorce, children and inheritance, and the roles of men and women. One of the main reasons for the creation of the Ottoman Family Law Law and the reform of family law in the Ottoman Empire, was to give women better access to divorce. However, it was suggested by scholar Judith Tucker that the Ottoman Family Law Law did not do much to promote women's rights in the Ottoman Empire.
