Question by Jayden’s ?mommy?: Could a woman have a Sharia Law trial in the UK, then sue the courts for sexual discrimination?
is that how you spell “sue”?
anyhow it doesn’t matter… the fact is, say a brother and sister stood to inherit their fathers money. The brother (under sharia law) gets double the sister’s amount. What is in place to stop the woman suing the court, or the brother, for her equal share?

Citizens in the UK are all subject to the same laws, whatever their religion.
As for her rights, they are the common law rights. If she is entitled to half at common law, it makes no difference what the Oman has to say about it.
