Abstract
This research is devoted to the problem of application of secular laws in religious legal field on the example of dissolution of a religious marriage in civil court. In Russia the issues of regulation of family relations of Muslims are within the competence of religious organizations. However, if family life does not work out, then obtaining an official divorce, which would be legal, is possible only in a civil court. Going to civil court is often the only way for a married woman to obtain a divorce when traditional ways have been futile. This research is the first work in the Russian-speaking space on this problem and offers an option for solving family problems.
