Let's say this group of people respect the same law. Is it possible to say "They share the law"?
Top answer
"They share the law" sounds slightly odd or confusing to me, at least when not embedded in a context. Assuming you mean that they "share" it amongst themselves (rather than with other people), something like your first phrasing is better: you can say "They all follow the same law" (single law) or "They all follow the same laws" (multiple laws).
