oh, also, the courts have ruled on cases of domestic abuse, which is criminal in the UK.There is also mention of them ruling on a stabbing, but I am looking for more corroboration of that...
The sad fact is that Muslim women will almost always drop charges on men in domestic abuse cases. Obviously, some cases get taken to court anyway and that will not change.

indeed
the articles I have read seem to insinuate that the men in the cases being forced to take anger management and counseling from the elders is not punishment enough, I wonder if they know how much of a slap on the wrist men get through normal civil courts...
what you described is not something found just in muslim women, but in many women in general. Police have the hardest time getting women to give evidence against their lovers, even in the cases of the harshest conditions.

Yeah, that's undeniable. The big question is whether such occurrences are more prevalent within muslim communities - a question we'll probably never know the answer to.

unfortunately the stats exist 🙁
immigrant women face linguistic, cultural and financial isolation, dependence on their husband, and social ostracism if they try to go to Women's groups.
Most goes unreported (Mainly talking about North American South Asian immigrants, I assume the same thing, and much that I have seen suggests similar things, are the case in the UK). I'm more concerned that the 6 cases of domestic abuse covered in the sharia courts have done more to prevent women from going to the police in the future than that the men in the cases were unfairly punished. The criminal cases were dropped. Women now might see the Sharia courts as being their only option as Muslims.
There is the fact that Sharia does have some strong positive provisions for women, and harsh punishments for things everyone would agree deserve it. Divorce, for instance, is, at least for the time it was written, fairly pro woman in sharia. However, they are still very much second class citizens in their society.

Whether you agree or disagree. Youtube is playing idiotic bias again. Pity.

Despite his disclaimers, that guy really really REALLY hates Islam.
