In Law No.11 Year 2006 on Governing Aceh, noted that the area of ​​al-syakhsiyah (family problems, such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, custody, alimony, child minders and common property), mu`amalah (problems of human living arrangements in life everyday life, such as buying and selling, tenancy, and borrowing), and jinayah (criminality) which is based on Islamic law governed by Canon (zoning regulations).
The law gives discretion to Aceh to organize life according to the teachings of Islam. Even so, other religion guaranteed to worship according to their confidence in. This pattern of social culture of the Acehnese people, with the majority of the Muslim religion in this province but there was a huge diversity of religions.
