Rejected petition Sharia-compliant wills
More details
It has come to light today (23.03.14) that the British law society has written a guide on Shiria succession rules that will be used in British courts.
Not only does this undermine British justice, it is also a massive step backwards for anyone who has fought for equality.
Our laws are there for a reason and they are there to serve and protect all of us, religion should not come into it. There is no place for Sharia law in the UK and this needs to be stopped.
