‘A Labour Muslim minister has warned that Islamic law is too unsophisticated for Britain.
Sadiq Khan said women could be ‘ abused’ by sharia courts, which may give unequal bargaining power to the sexes. He said: ‘The burden is on those who want to open up these courts to persuade us why they should.’
Mr Khan, who was made a community cohesion minister in this month’s Government reshuffle, rejected the argument that the courts could operate in the same way as the Jewish Beth Din courts.
He said Muslim life in Britain was not advanced enough to run a similar religious legal system.
The MP for Tooting in South London added: ‘I would be very concerned about sharia courts applying in the UK. ‘I don’t think there is that level of sophistication that there is in Jewish law.’
He also said that sharia courts would discourage Muslims from developing links with other cultural and ethnic groups.’
