Proof The Bible Is True

Britain has witnessed a rapid rise in sharia marriages with many of them polygamous, a leading lawyer warns today.

Aina Khan, a London solicitor who specialises in sharia, told Frances Gibb, legal editor of The Times, that there are now as many as 100,000 sharia marriages in the UK.

The problem with them is that they leave the women in particular with little protection in law, especially if they get divorced.

A previous report by the charity AURAT which helps victims of so-called “honour” based violence found that two-thirds of sharia marriages were polygamous. The report also found that some women married in sharia only believe their marriages to be legally valid because they had taken place in the UK.

Khan said: “Probably a quarter of all the couples I see involve polygamy issues. There has been a high rise in recent years because people can have a secret Nikah (Islamic ‘marriage’ ceremony) and no one will know about it.”
