I think you are right in what you say. As far as the newspaper is concerned, I believe that the London Times is a fairly decent newspaper and I think they check their facts.
I agree with you that these things are largely cultural rather than religious but if the newspaper is to be believed then......"The girl's marriage last April was not recognised by the Home Office but was approved by the Islamic Sharia Council in Britain." This would suggest that the Islamic Sharia Council in Britain is run by a bunch of ignorant backward tribes people living in Britain.
This certainly would not help the perception of Islam in Britain and should be corrected. No?
