Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A journalist has been allowed a rare glimpse into the workings of Britain\u2019s secretive Sharia Courts, which can preside over business, marriage, and financial disputes in the Muslim community under the Arbitration Act of 1996.<\/em><\/h2>\n

\u201cWhat strikes you first is the squalid nature of the women\u2019s stories. Their husbands have beaten and abused them, they claim; lied and cheated, cavorted with prostitutes, become addicted to drugs. One weeping wife even accuses her spouse of molesting her infant child,\u201d reports David Jones<\/a> in an article for the Daily Mail.<\/em><\/p>\n

Jones describes how, \u201cafter much negotiation\u201d, he was able to persuade the Sharia council in Birmingham to let him observe it in action as a \u201cprocession of downtrodden women\u201d came to plead for the dissolution of their Islamic marriages \u201cin windowless chamber in the city\u2019s huge Central Mosque\u201d \u2014 in exchange for a \u00a3300 fee.<\/em><\/p>\n

Just how many courts of this kind are operating in Britain is unknown, with Reading University estimating around 30 and the think-tank Civitas estimating around 85 \u2014 but the Government has conceded that they pose a danger to Britain\u2019s social cohesion, as they \u201ckeep many Muslims isolated, entrenched and with little social stake in wider British citizenship and life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
