Whether the Koran is to be "the" source of Iraq law is still being decided:
The issue of women's rights was just as complicated and undecided, falling under Shiite demands that Islam be the main source of legislation. That could affect the civil code, because Islamic law, or sharia, women might not receive the same share of inheritance and cannot initiate divorce.
Sharia also condones such things as stoning women to death.
The Iraqi Parliament has extended the deadline for agreement on the charter Constitution to Aug. 22.
