Britain is the Western Sharia Law Capital 08:14 - Dec 19 with 1912 views | AnotherJohn | The Times has a big feature today on the growth of Sharia tribunals in the UK. It has undertaken an investigation that concludes that Britain has become the “western capital” for sharia courts, dealing with such areas as family and inheritance law. https://www.thetimes.com/uk/society/article/sharia-law-courts-uk-marriages-divor Extract from behind The Times pay-wall. “An investigation by The Times also discovered that polygamy is so normalised that an app for Muslims in England and Wales to create Islamic wills has a drop-down menu for men to say how many wives they have (between one and four). The app, approved by a sharia court, gives daughters half as much inheritance as sons. The number of sharia courts, also known as councils, in Britain has grown to 85 since the first began operating in the country in 1982. Muslims from across Europe and North America are increasingly turning to Britain’s sharia courts, which operate as informal bodies issuing religious rulings on marriage and family life. About 100,000 Islamic marriages are believed to have been conducted in Britain, many of which are not officially registered with the civil authorities.” Although it doesn’t really feature in the Times article, one of the key issues is how this fits in with the British legal system and laws such as the Equality Act. Some people say there is no real problem because none of the Muslim tribunals have legal standing in the UK. However, others point out that where people on both sides of a dispute agree to be bound by an agreed alternative dispute resolution mechanism such as arbitration, this has real world-impact and is legally sanctioned by the Arbitration Act, 1996. https://lawandreligionuk.com/2012/10/24/sharia-law-the-arbitration-act-1996-and- Many will see this as a dry subject, but it looks set to be a hot issue.

There's a law here, there's no need for another culture to practice their law here, by all means come here obviously legally, but abide by the law that's here. | |

Britain is the Western Sharia Law Capital on 20:24 - Dec 19 with 1193 views | ReslovenSwan1 | Law is used in UK to settle disputes. It seems in this case where all parties abide by religious laws there is no dispute because they have already effectively arbitrated and come to a solution. One of my neighbours and Indian national herself working in immigration. Most problems relate r to Afghans wanting to bring their family over and UK resistance. While this seemed harsh to me at first it relates to mine than one wife and their children. This is illegal in UK. Will have to ask her if such claims succeeded. | |

The point you make about more than 1 wife is interesting and 1 I’d never considered. My view is that the laws of this land only allow for 1 legal wife, so in terms of the Afghans they should only be allowed to bring in 1 wife. Any other wives, would not be recognised by British law and none of the privileges of husband and wife should he extended to other “wives ” | | | |

Blackburn Bradford and Rotherham to just name 3, where these things go on. Look at the hounding out of teachers who dare to mention Allah, we are a Christian Country, and how many schools in these areas are not allowed to celebrate Christmas. Your last paragraph is 100% correct | |

Agreed. But my point was if someone legally marries a girl of 13 in their country, what is the position if they visit the UK. | | | |

No religious marriage in the UK are recognised unless it takes place in an authorised venue, is witnessed or carried out by someone authorised to register marriages and both parties sign the register. Legal age for marriage in England and Wales is now 18. | |

Something that surprised me in the link posted by Major is that there seems to be a de facto recognition of multiple marriages when it comes to the award of social security benefits. | | | |

Sadly less and less so , certainly not with a large amount of new generation that is .The younger generation of muslims because of varying factors fail to recognise them selves as being anything other than British and understandably so. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01419870.2018.1532098#d1e153 | |

Britain is the Western Sharia Law Capital on 13:45 - Dec 20 with 667 views | ReslovenSwan1 | Religions can be toxic. If you look at the middle east since the 1920 ethnic separation has been occuring where by Christians. Muslims and Jews lived side by side for centuries in the Ottoman Empire and other. When the empire collapsed the ethnic religious groups fragmented and separated and fought each other. It is Sen today in Azerbaijan where Christians packed their bags and left Nagorno Kadabag rather that live in a Muslim State. The immigrants who come here support this segregation while flourishing in a liberal society which promotes integration and free movement. Those of a religious disposition concentrate in local area and then apply they culture. This concentration and s desire to take control of local affair was seen in the African community as well as given massive support by many on here. We all stood to attention and bent the knee to Afro people taking control of their local neighbourhood with older women running communes of predominantly women and children and defunding the police. Swansea city stood behind a flag of BLM which supported defunding the police and running their own neighbourhoods. This was a type of "Sharia law". Sharia law is not that practiced on Afghanistan necessarily. We in Wales could follow the law of Hywyl Dda | |
