The petition, created by academics who have given evidence to a Government inquiry into Sharia courts, calls on the UK Government to recognise Sharia and all religious laws are arbitrary and discriminatory against women and children in particular.

Sharia is Islam’s legal system derived from both the Koran, Islam’s central text, and fatwas – the rulings of Islamic scholars.

The founder of the petition, Maryam Namazie, said: ”These courts are discriminatory against women, for example a women’s testimony is worth half that of a man’s, women can only have access to divorce for limited reasons, when a child is around nine and there is a divorce, custody always goes to the father irrespective of the welfare of the child even if there has been domestic violence or rape.”
