Family law is civil and therefore sharia courts are overseeing family cases where women are effectively 2nd class compared to men. There is also an issue whereby couples have an islamic marriage which are not legally recognised by the law which again leaves women vulnerable. I've long wondered why it's acceptable to discriminate against women and girls under the guise of religion.

Sharia law is the system of religious laws within Islam and is derived from the Qur’an. It deals with all aspects of a Muslim’s life, ranging from family and financial matters to personal hygiene and clothing. It is increasingly used in parallel with the UK judicial system. There are around 30 Sharia “councils” in the UK but these are not courts of law. The Sharia councils’ decisions are based on Islamic religious laws and cannot overrule the decisions of UK courts or make decisions that are contrary to UK law
