UK now a legal bear garden
Dozens of sharia courts in the UK are regularly giving illegal advice on issues including marriage and divorce, a report published today claims. Decisions concerning marriages not recognised under English law, polygamy, and disputes regarding children are being made by at least 85 sharia courts, according to the report by the thinktank Civitas.
"Some of these courts are advising illegal actions," said Denis MacEoin, a former lecturer in Arabic and Islamic studies who wrote the report. "And others transgress human rights standards."
"Imams and mosques are performing marriage ceremonies that are not registered under English law," Addison added. "They are not the only religion that are doing it … Hindus and Sikhs have registered their temples under the Marriages Act."
IMO: The trouble is the Brits have made their system such a mess with their red tape. I know this for a fact. Will they ever put things right ? I doubt it. UK politicians simply fill their pockets with taxpayer's money and let the law and the country go to hell.
