An analysis of morality and the law


Author(s): Uzma Abbas

Abstract: Law and morality exert significant influence on society, capable of shaping or destabilizing its foundations. While often perceived as closely connected, they can also diverge considerably. Individuals frequently confront the dilemma of choosing between compliance with the law and adherence to their personal moral code. In the past, humans were often depicted as primitive, yet societal progress emphasizes the importance of social unity and acknowledges each individual's role in the community. Every person maintains their own moral values, ethics, conscience, and beliefs. When legal regulations conflict with these deeply ingrained principles, achieving harmony between the law and personal morality becomes challenging. This examination delves into jurisprudence, exploring similar inquiries within legal theory. Its objective is to unravel the intricate relationship between law and morality and assess the extent to which morality is prioritized in other jurisprudential schools, such as the natural school of law. By scrutinizing various legal cases and grounding the investigation in Article 14 of The Rule of Law, this research seeks to illuminate the intersection of law and morality. The significance of law and morality in interpreting our legal framework cannot be overstated. This study will also encompass criminal jurisprudence to elucidate complex concepts, drawing on pivotal common law precedents. Through comprehensive analysis, this research aims to offer a clearer understanding of the dynamic interplay between law and morality.
