Martial law is the system of rules that takes effect when the military takes control of the normal administration of justice.
The legal effects of a declaration of martial law differ in various jurisdictions, but they generally involve a suspension of normal civil rights and the extension to the civilian population of summary military justice or of military law. Although temporary in theory, a state of martial law may in fact continue indefinitely.
Martial law imposed during wars or occupations in the absence of any other civil government. Martial law can be declared in cases of major natural disasters; however most countries use a different legal construct, such as a "state of emergency".
In many countries martial law imposes particular rules, one of which is curfew. Often, under this system, the administration of justice is left to a military tribunal, called a court-martial. The suspension of the writ of habeas corpus is likely to occur.
