KINGDOM OF GOD: the Archbishop, the Sharia and the Law Part1

The Archbishop of Canterbury's historic lecture on "Islam in English Law" at the Royal Courts of Justice last week has ignited a national debate about the relationship between law and religion in the United Kingdom.

UK law already makes special concessions for faith groups: marriages solemnised in many churches, synagogues and mosques do not require a separate civil registration; the decree absolute of civil divorce is not granted to Jewish couples until they have obtained a Jewish divorce from a recognised Beth Din in order to guarantee the rights of Jewish women; Sikh motorcyclists who wear a traditional turban are exempted from having to wear a helmet; etc.

Is there a case for legal pluralism within UK law? How do Beths Din and Sharia councils work with respect to UK law? What would be the impacts of any changes to the status quo on human rights, especially those of women?

Join us for a lively discussion with a panel of experts.

last question is not ture at all

[adnaanqaadiri]

men in islam can have 1-4 wives not neccessary every man but who has capacity who bear expenses of all of them who can statisfy their needs. reason scientifically realistically more women exist ratio man.may remain marriagreless if one man has one, this will cause turmoil it ll creat more unlawfull relations as they do in the west. dont treat them as beasts to use for sex and joy momentarily throw off dont leave them alone marry them look after them

[adnaanqaadiri]

women in islam is not valued half actually there are some preachers who are half who could not convey the actual message of islam. if u r a student of the world and arabic history before islam and now on check out what was carried out with women before islam used to be burnt or burried alive which islam prohibited used to be sold off in markets in europe and west prohibited by islam. now west has made woman barely the symbol of entertainment source to fulfill sexual desire rightfully or wrongly.

Moses was angry with the officers of the army who returned from the battle. "Have you allowed all the women to live?" he asked them. "They were the ones who followed Balaam's advice and were the means of turning the Israelites away from the LORD in what happened at Peor, so that a plague struck the LORD's people. Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man. [Num 31:14-18]
