UK: Sharia court orders woman to return to abusive, rapist husband

By

SHARIA courts are sentencing women to lives of misery by ordering them to stay with abusive husbands, a rape victim has claimed.

Where is the power of Western principles of human rights and a democratic constitution in Britain? This is what the Prime Minister of the UK, Theresa May, has defended in the name of religious freedom and diversity: she hailed the “great benefits” to Britain of sharia teachings, overlooking the principles of sharia, which permits men to beat and rape their wives. Add to that the shocking coverup of the abuse and brutalization of up to a million British girls at the hands of Muslim rape gangs. With its two-tier legal system, Britain is descending further into the pit of subjugation.

“Sharia court told rape victim to RETURN to her attacker husband,” by Leda Reynolds, UK Express, November 14, 2016:

The mother-of-two, calling herself Lubna, revealed that she had been beaten, robbed and raped by her estranged husband despite being the British courts banning him from approaching her and which had also awarded her custody of their children.

But family pressure persuaded the British-Pakistani to try and obtain an Islamic divorce in a Sharia court.

Expecting to be treated sympathetically, Lubna said she felt violated when she was instead told to return to her violent husband.

Gita Sahgal, a human rights activist from the One Law for All campaign and Centre for Secular Space, said this is the reality of Sharia courts which are operating across Britain.

She said many Muslim women are being denied their legal rights by Sharia courts which are bypassing the UK’s justice system and telling women British civil divorce does not count in the eyes of Islam.

She said: “Any woman who embarks on a new relationship will, they say, have committed adultery – a crime only equalled in their eyes by apostasy, abandoning Islam, and blasphemy.

“Yet the courts in, for example, Bangladesh and Pakistan, are perfectly happy to accept a civil divorce certificate from Britain as evidence of the end of a marriage, which in the Muslim tradition is a civil contract rather than a sacrament. In those countries, the contract must be registered to count as a legal marriage.”

The Commons Home Affairs Committee has begun an investigation into the spread of Islamic law, a move criticised by some Muslims who have branded the probe “interference”.

Dr Ahmad al-Dubayan, chairman of the UK Board of Sharia Councils – a body set up to standardise the administration of Islamic law – said unregulated Sharia law courts exist “everywhere in the country”.

And he told the Home Affairs Select Committee last week the self-appointed courts are performing marriages and handing out divorces.

Although the unregulated bodies have no legal force or jurisdiction in the UK, they are regularly used by Muslim families to adjudicate on personal matters, the Committee heard.

Many courts reportedly charge for their services, with fees for divorce proceedings often higher than British courts.

The doctor warned the exact number of Sharia courts operating across Britain is unknown.

He said: “We don’t know how many councils there are.

“Some people talk about 80 or 30 or 50, I don’t know. There is no record for this and no studies, unfortunately.”…..

The Select Committee heard that if Sharia courts are banned, backstreet courts will continue to operate but will slip even further under the radar.

Labour MP Naz Shah, who also giving evidence, admitted the councils could be used to “oppress” women.

She added: “Sharia itself is actually a code of conduct and the fundamental principal of Sharia is that the law of the land precedes anything.

“You cannot enforce and have a second parallel legal system in this country.

“As a British lawmaker I’m very clear, we have one law and that law is of the British court.”

Comments

  1. Sharia Law = 21st Century Feminism. Ask Naomi Wolf and he pals if that’s true.

    • Muslims conceal the reality of Islamic misogyny and Western Feminists kiss their whips.

      • mortimer, you are so right. What cracks me up is the liberal Muslim enabler women in the west, do not realize that these pigs are NOT looking to improve their lives, but destroy it. They rant and rave for hours, about how bad the system is for women here in the west.. They need to spend time under Muslim rule!! They weep for Hillary’s defeat, and fail to see the fact Uma her right hand adviser is from, Saudi Arabia, where women are less than a goat!!

  2. Although the unregulated bodies have no legal force or jurisdiction in the UK, they are regularly used by Muslim families to adjudicate on personal matters, the Committee heard.

    That tells me everything I need to know about where they stand regarding British law.

  3. There is 66 days before our America starts to change for the better. The start will be slow at first but will pick up and be in full motion by May 2017. Make those Muslims feel at home, if they want Sharia they can have Sharia. If a Muslim steals from a Kafir, we will cut his hands off. Nothing like public executions at the town square once a week. If a Muslim kills a kafir, he will be executed. No welfare for Muslims, and they will have to pay the kafir jizya. No Muslims will be allowed to have private property or a house. If a Muslim lies he should have his tongue remove. We should stone to death any Muslim that rapes or commits adultery.
    If we implement these policies I am sure the Muslim population will drop significantly.

  4. In the UK, feminists, with a couple of brave exceptions,
    like Julie Burchell, couldn’t give a toss about violence against
    mohammedan women, including FGM.
    In the UK such concerns are “racist”.
    As the Rotherham rape gangs showed, & still show, merely
    being accused of racism in the UK is worse than child rape.

    • This is actually quite a difficult problem to overcome. If you read the report this woman has obtained a proper British legal divorce AND an order forbidding her husband to threaten/harass her. However it seems her family have forced her to obey the Sharia courts instead of going to the ;police for the protection which by law they must give her under the court order.
      So how do we combat this awful family “honour code” and protect women?
      If the stupid woman trots off to the Sharia court, instead of invoking her rights and legal protection as she is entitled to do, then there isn’t a lot anyone else can do. Attending a Sharia court is a voluntary, even though very stupid action.

  5. Muhammad was a magician..
    Look closely at the rose.

    Islam is just a thorny cage with a few roses to distract, but mostly thorns.

    • What a load of whitewash, Jay Boo. Thanks for the link.

      The truth, of course, is that there is nothing more Islamic than strengthening Islam during Ramadan by murdering Infidels and “hypocrites”.

  8. Why do women who grew up Muslim think that they would ever get a fair hearing in a Muslim court?

  9. This is her religion of choice, she is in Britain and could chose another one if it isn’t working out for her. There isn’t a British law forcing her to stay Muslim, so until these abused women start leaving the religion that allows this to happen, it will continue. You can’t help people that don’t want to be helped.

    • All this is true, Susan–but for Britain to allow these “courts” to function in civilized Britain while making a mockery of the law is crazy. UK authorities should shut them down.

    • I wonder how many women would actually “choose” islam for a religion.
      In how many cases does a woman have a choice to leave, or ability to ‘choose another if it’s not working out for her’? Have you seen what is done to women who’ve tried to leave? Read Pamela Geller for some horror stories.
      I’m sure there is no strictly British law forcing her to ‘stay muslim’. This is about another legal system; ‘underground’ but becoming more accepted, being used in UK by and for muslims– and islam itself has some very definite rules regarding ‘staying muslim’, on which this system is based.
      I don’t wish to sound rude, but did you read the article?

      • It is really difficult for a Western woman to understand why a woman of any origin would stay within such a repressive system. All things being equal, she should be able to leave. But all things are not equal and the cultural pressure, not to mention the threat of physical violence or death is so powerful that they cannot leave. I understand why they don’t but I wish that somehow it would be safe for them to do so.

        And the government of the UK and any Western country could make it safe. But the leaders are too fond of Saudi money.

    • i just thank the Almighty that I left the cage of Islam. I questioned and there were no answers except “obey – the koran is the “truth from allah”.
      Dissent was put down with the threat of violence.
      I sincerely hope and pray that the women who are being denied justice by Sharia “courts” do a rethink and change their beliefs and come into the arms of a loving God.
      Its a real pity that Britain which has been in the forefront of Christendom for centuries is now falling prey (and allowing practtices like sharia) to this satanic evil it has allowed onto its shores with eyes open just because of the money that comes along with them from the Middle East.
      Principles on which Britain was built on be damned.

  10. UK: Sharia court orders woman to return to abusive, rapist husband
    ……………………….

    This is mainstream Shari’ah. A woman can be abused, assaulted, raped, and even at risk of being “Honor Killed”–none of these are grounds for divorce.

    Whereas, all Muslim men need do is intone the “Triple Talaq” and it is done.

    God, I hate Islam.

    The real madness is not this, which anyone who knows Islam is not surprised by. It is that Britain does not shut down all of these Shari’ah courts.

    • ” It is that Britain does not shut down all of these Shari’ah courts.”

      Even if Sharia May and her Muslim hugging cronies legislated against these “courts” it would make no difference.

      Muslims now operate a fully segregated, parallel society in Britain. Huge areas of British cities are now completely indistinguishable from their counterparts in Islamistan and are run on Islamic principals. Britain’s laws have no remit in the streets that are now occupied and controlled by the Muslim invaders.

      Muslims, especially women, have no need to step out their piece of Britainistan for any of their social needs.

      • There CAN’T be any ‘no-go’ areas in British cities. Ask the politicos and they’ll tell you that without a blush! What’s more, they’d do nothing about it even if they were to admit the existence of muslim-controlled areas of our cities!

        • They don’t admit it because if they did they would have to do something about it, which they will not and/or cannot do. So denying it exists is safe for them but not for the country.

  12. I am an Indian …. here they are creating the same situation for sharia law..
    But our Pm Modi has asked either for full sharia or Indian penal court law..
    they are confused now…..
    thousands of culprits are behind bars …what will happen ..haha

  13. The bottom line is that Islam does not allow accommodation or assimilation with non-Muslim cultures and religions. Muslims are duty bound to spread Islam. One needs to study the bloody and aggressive 1,400 year history of Islam and heed the words of their imams, Koran, Sira and Hadith. Western leaders are foolhardy in not recognising the current Muslim invasion of the West and in not confronting it before it results in widespread bloodshed. History has taught us that aggressive Islam can only be rolled back by military action. Muslims are taught that ALL non-Muslim property including your person, is war booty to be claimed by Muslims. This is why there is a rape culture now in Europe and why Muslims are prominent in Western crime figures.

  14. The Atlantic article by Caner K. Dagli:

    Ramadan is not really a month-long fast, it is a festival of Islamic self promotion and self congratulation. When the sun goes down each night they feast like gluttons. They say they fast but they eat, just like they say they don’t drink but they do.

    Caner is, of course, a George Washington University graduate and one of the authors of an English translation of the Quran, a study Quran if you will. There is no other information on his origins or credentials. The material is the usual circle jerk of Praise to God, God (Allah) is the one true God, God is the Greatest, so praise God.

    The Industry of Islam is a self-reinforcing bunch of well paid quacks, sorry, “scholars”.

  15. Only “up to” a million British girls at the hands of Muslim rape gangs? Some people might think the “at least” figure is the one that counts.

    The basic “at least” would be 1400 in Rotherham plus smaller figures from other criminal cases around the country. Let’s guesstimate that Rotherham is a tenth of the problem or even a twentieth…that gives us a figure of 28,000. That leaves quite a gap to one million, which is only filled by a hysterical, incoherent interview given by Sarah Champion campaigning to win the Rotherham seat and with an interest in clouding the issue.

    But why should Christine Williams care about the facts or realistic estimates. Her purpose is to create outrage just like her favourite paper, the Express.

  16. I was not intending to signal any virtue. I am only too aware of my shortcomings in the virtue department so I am naturally reluctant to draw attention to the deficit.

    I do attach great importance to true, accurate facts and to the realisation that in the absence of such facts some people make up some of their own. This wisdom comes from over 30 years experience working as an investigator in the legal profession.

    The figure of one million is probably an over estimation. The figure of 28,000 you deftly plucked out of the air may under estimate the true figure by about the same order of probability. The truth is we do not know the true number of white British girls who were brutally abused by mohammedan scum.

    Arguing over the numbers deflects us from the real issues of the scandal. That a VERY LARGE number of girls became victims of Islamic rape terrorism and their plight was ignored for many years by those in authority who should have been protecting them.

    You remind me of the theologians who argued over the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin – while Constantinople fell.

    • … who ALLEGEDLY argued over the number… I forgot to include the most important word in my professional vocabulary.

    • Indeed we do not know the true number of victims but it does not help anyone, the girls included, to spread a figure over the internet which anyone prepared to do a little basic arithmetic will realise is nonsense.That will just discredit our claims and hinder attempts to keep it in public awareness

      I have seen the Guardian rubbishing the EDL’s early concerns about this on the grounds that misogynist working class brutes couldn’t possibly care about the plight of vulnerable girls…they must be using the girls as ammunition in their hateful campaign against poor Muslims. Imagine them getting wind of this figure going round the internet. It would just give them a stick to beat us with, ie we must be exaggerating for some cynical hate-filled purpose purpose.

      • You’re not getting it. I agree the one million figure is very unlikely – and that it is unhelpful. As is any other estimate because basic arithmetic is of no help when the extent of the problem is unknown. It is indisputable that a very large number of our girls suffered terrible abuse.

        I never read the Guardian. I like to keep my stomach contents in place. That rag’s lefties can shove their sticks …

        I think we are actually on the same side of the rigid debate.

        • Shall I tell you what really pissed me off? It was this:

          “Isn’t 28,000 enough for you?”

          28,000 is quite enough for me, infact it is 28,000 too many but I come from a time and place where they understood what a decent reserve was. I do not expect to have to broadcast my horror at such things to avoid accusations of indifference or worse.

          As to the 1m figure, it is bloody nonsense and it does us no credit to mindlessly repeat it across the internet. I wish to see it die out and will continue to challenge it wherever I see it.

  18. I thought there was only two laws, one for the rich and one for the poor.
    That’s bad enough.
    Now the savage is legal.
    Disgusting morality in Engeland now.
    In the long run there is no dealing with Islam except to offer your throat to the beast.
    It cannot work with islam, it is impossible, in the long run.
    See how it has spread from an ejaculation 1400 years ago.
    The tide of Islam will not cease. Stop, breed, creep, stop breed creep,
