An independant review of Sharia Law to see if it is fair to UK women

Quote
It will look at whether Sharia law - Islamic religious law - is compatible with UK laws and whether it is being "misused", Theresa May added.

Some Sharia councils had sought to "legitimise" forced marriage and issue unfair divorces to women, she said.

Legitimising forced marriages? Sounds like you have already answered your question Theresa.  Banghead

I realise that, I'm just cynical that this is going to be a PR stunt for the government rather than an actual inquiry.
