The interplay between religion and law in ancient Mesopotamia reveals a complex relationship, with religious ideology influencing legal codes, albeit less profoundly than in India. The Babylonian text "Shurpu" outlines sins that often align with crimes in the Laws of Hammurabi, highlighting a shared moral framework. Both texts address violations of religious rituals and societal norms, such as theft, violence, and familial discord, illustrating how spiritual beliefs shaped legal principles in this ancient civilization.
