time.. and I don't see any reference that this is part of "shariah law". Only in the title of the article which qoutes shariah (islamic).
all I read is that it was a case in which a girl was married in a valid islamic ceremony over the telephone. It appears that the girl actually came from pakistan and upon arriving in the uk realized her plight.
law in pakistan is often called Islamic shariah. Just as law is called islamic in saudi, qatar and dubai. Shariah is an arabic term for law which is based on a moral code..in these countries case it is islam. That does not mean that the laws of these countries are all purely islamic or meant to be completely islamic. Islam is just the frame in which many of the laws are built around.
And when muslims call for shariah law.. they are actually calling for the true islamically correct shariah law.. and not what ones sees based in islamic countries.
