I seem to recall reading somewhere (maybe on this forum) that shariah courts in the UK deal with family disputes, and not necessarily the kinds of things that would get one stoned to death or amputated. Is there anybody that can clarify this one for me?

You mean the family dispute where the father gets to sell his daughter in marriage to another man, or the family dispute where the man says "I divorce you" three times and he's divorced, or the family dispute where a man wants to have a second wife?

I didn’t say the family disputes were what we called socially acceptable (and therefore, I want NO shariah courts to exist in this country), I was just inquiring about the jurisdiction of these UK courts.
