The Syrian Law of Personal Status (Qanun al-Ahwal al-Shakhsiyya) 1953 produced by the Commission covers matters of personal status, family relations and intestate and testamentary succession and was the most comprehensive code issued in the Arab world to that date.
Islamic personal status laws are applied- i.e., over matters of guardianship, succession, ascertaining capacity, missing persons, filiation, matrimonial issues, and maintenance of relatives) and special jurisdiction (relating to Muslim Syrians in matters of personal status including marriage, dissolution, mahr, custody and maintenance, and awqaf). The Code of Personal Status applied to Muslims by the shari?a courts has specific exemptions for Druze, Christians and Jews.
More at a library I'm sure.
That's all I could find online, but check these sites.
