Dina d'malkhuta dina
Dina d'malkhuta dina (alternative spelling: dina de-malkhuta dina; Imperial Aramaic: דִּינָא דְּמַלְכוּתָא דִּינָא, lit. 'the law of the Government is law', or "the law of the land is the law") is a principle in Jewish religious law that the civil law of the country is binding upon the Jewish inhabitants of that country, and, in certain cases, is to be preferred to Jewish law. The law of the land and its binding on Jewish citizens pertains, however, exclusively to monetary matters.
