Here?s a few tasty bits in Sharia law on the treatment of women.
1.Inheritance: Women inherit half the amount men receive.
2.Marriage: Women often require the consent of a male guardian to marry, while men do not.
3.Divorce: Men can initiate a divorce (talaq) by verbal declaration, but women face significant legal and social barriers to obtain one.
4.Child Custody: After a certain age (often 7 for boys, 9 for girls), custody typically defaults to the father, regardless of the mother?s circumstances.
5.Testimony in Court: A woman?s testimony is often considered worth half that of a man?s, requiring two female witnesses to equal one male.
6.Domestic Violence: Some interpretations of Sharia permit ?disciplinary? physical punishment of wives by their husbands.
7.Polygamy: Men are allowed up to four wives, but women cannot have more than one husband.
8.Rape Victims: In some cases, a woman must produce four male witnesses to prove a rape, or she risks being charged with adultery.
9.Dress Code: Strict dress codes are imposed on women, often under penalty of law, with little or no equivalent restrictions for men.
10.Freedom of Movement: In some interpretations, women cannot travel without a male guardian or their husband?s permission.
11.Work and Education: Women may face restrictions on working or attending school, depending on the interpretation and enforcement of Sharia.
This medieval law does NOT belong in Britain.

Sharia councils have no legal status and no legal binding authority under civil law. Whilst sharia
is a source of guidance for many Muslims, sharia councils have no legal jurisdiction in England
and Wales. Thus if any decisions or recommendations are made by a sharia council that
are inconsistent with domestic law (including equality policies such as the Equality Act 2010)
domestic law will prevail. Sharia councils will be acting illegally should they seek to exclude
domestic law. Although they claim no binding legal authority, they do in fact act in a decisionmaking capacity when dealing with Islamic divorce.
There are recommendations for improvements in the report etc
Just on case there's an interest in finding out more about it beyond the dog whistle stuff
