If regulated properly it leads to an organized and growing society, otherwise a good number of individuals fail to perform adequately in the society, being trapped in their personal life complications. It not only hampers the individual lives but also the collective performance of nation. To address this phenomenon, we find two parallel legal structures, the religion and the law of land devised in view of peculiar structure of local norms and customs. Legal language is predominantly considered a no-go area for masses. It is usually not easy for a layman to comprehend the legal language because of the complexity and the requirement to be read in context, to draw the limits of leverage it provides. It is specially challenging when a person migrates from one area, culture or religion to a place where the lawbeing practiced is altogetheror somewhat a different set of operations not purporting to the one he/she migrated from.Resultantly, it also effects adaptability. In this context this paper is meant to help and guide the Canadian Muslims in their issues regarding marriage and divorce and related laws of land. It helps to develop connectivity between the application of Canadian laws that Muslims must observe in addition to the applicable Shari’ah laws; and attempts to outline the similarities and contradictions in a reader friendly format; and portrays a clear picture of everyday life dos and don’ts. Potential solutions to the most conflicting issues, to enable the masses to resolve and handle the contradictory scenarios have also been provided to make matters simplified and easy for the younger generation, the researchers and any others concerned including the one’s already migrated and prospective immigrants coming in from different Muslim cultures.
