60% of Muslim marriages in Britain are not legal

Among these marriages are forced marriages, child marriages and polygamous marriages. Meanwhile, it was discovered that a “website that helps Muslim men find ‘second wives’ in Britain has more than 100,000 users registered.”

The UK has essentially descended into a two-tier legal system: one for Muslims and one for everyone else. Even the victims of the Muslim rape gangs were told to “shut up for the good of diversity” — a message that was re-tweeted by Labor MP Naz Shah.

Women are the most often targeted victims of abuse that is justified under Sharia, but to defend human rights in the face of such victimization — whether against Muslim or non-Muslim women — earns one the label of “Islamophobe,” in the midst of fierce campaigns to shut people up “for the good of diversity.”

“Six in Ten Muslim Marriages in Britain Not Legally Binding, Women Forced into Polygamous Relationships”, by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, November 21, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

An investigation suggests almost two-thirds of Muslim wives in Britain were married in Nikah ceremonies which are not legally binding, leaving them unprotected by family courts.

The survey of 923 women, conducted by 20 Muslim female community researchers for public broadcaster Channel 4, also found that over a tenth of Muslim wives are in polygamous relationships, with 37 per cent of them admitting they were forced into their arrangements unwillingly.

One woman who did not even realise her marriage was polygamous told the programme — The Truth About Muslim Marriage — that her husband had repeatedly put off following the Nikah ceremony with a civil marriage, which would have given her a number of important legal protections with respect to her children and the division of assets.

She eventually “found out that he had been married to another woman for 13 years before he met her and had another wife as well. When she refused to carry on in a polygamous marriage, she was unable to get a divorce as she had only had a Nikah. She had to sell her house and most of her assets and ended up homeless and had a mental breakdown.”

The lack of protection is clearly a matter of concern for most Muslim women in Britain, with some 78 per cent of those interviewed saying they would prefer their marriages to have legal standing.

However, two-thirds said that they did not plan on having a civil marriage to supplement their Nikah ceremony, suggesting pressure from husbands, family members, or the wider Muslim community.

A surprising 28 per cent did not even realise their Nikah marriages “did not give them the same rights and protections as a legally-recognised marriage”, lending weight to earlier investigations which have found that Pakistani-origin women — who comprise a very significant section of British Muslim women — are “shockingly badly integrated“, with poor English-language abilities and a weak grasp of their rights and responsibilities….

Muslim brides are being left debt-stricken and HOMELESS after being abandoned by their husbands – because their Sharia ceremonies are not recognised under UK law
