so when you read the papers and sayin shariah law is set to be implemented in the uk its a shock tactic by the papers. so everyone just reads the title and not the whole truth is written and people rightly so think their country is about to be taken over.
it does help alot - like the girls who's husbands want to b real donkeys and not grant them the divorce they can arbitrate between them and if it comes to nothing they can grant it islamically as the other person as not responded etc. alot of girls wud b stuck for a few yrs in the british legal system if they went that way. then sometimes its even more complicated when the groom isnt even in the uk and they try to get a divorce - they can still do that if all they've done is had an islamic marriage - not a british registration.

Whoa there Kemo Sabe
........so are now your telling us that marriages are taking place in the UK and not being registered with the local civil authorties ?. How do the families go about registering births and tax stuff, applying for passports , citizenship papers for spouses imported from oveseas etc.
on another note , Eric mentioned in an earlier post about the Canadian First Nations and we have similar laws here in the US on 'American Indian' tribal territories , where local laws take some precedence over Federal/National laws but I doubt they extend to marriage/divorce/legitimacy/inheritance issues .
Seems to me , and this is just my opinion but all this multi-culturism is getting out of hand and is now becomming more and more like 'tribalism' and we all know that 'tribalism' does not work , wether it be in Europe (Yugoslavia) Africa (Rwanda/Sudan) Asia (the Hmongs in Laos and Burma)
Traditions that may be acceptable in a monocultural/homeland society should in no way be acceptable when the person moves into another society , here in California there is a growing movement among a section of the expatriate south Asian community for a 'free Kalistan" (are we going to see another seccessionist war on the sub-continent), more tribalism, the person/s should in my view be prepared to accept the rules and norms of the new society or return to his or her own homeland/society and not be allowed to complain or demand about his/her human/cultural rights being infringed on, Like the old saying 'When in Rome ........'
