33:43Now PlayingBritain has quietly become the “Western capital” of Sharia law courts, with around 85 Islamic councils now operating in the country—offering religious rulings on marriage, divorce, and inheritance that often leave women at a severe disadvantage. While Muslim men can instantly divorce their wives through the controversial practice of triple talaq, women must plead their case before these all-male panels, sometimes facing religious coercion. “It should be remembered that Sharia councils only exist because Muslim women need them to obtain a religious divorce,” warns National Secular Society chief executive Stephen Evans. Reports have emerged of men using religious texts to pressure wives into submission, with some women even advised to enter so-called "pleasure marriages." Meanwhile, modern apps now allow Muslim men to specify up to four wives in their Islamic wills, further entrenching gender disparities. Despite growing concerns, the British government insists, "Sharia law does not form any part of the law in England and Wales"—but for thousands of women trapped in these unofficial courts, the reality tells a different story.
