Should all Muslim Marraiges be registered under UK Law?
There was a programme on BBC 4 on the 22nd August 2016 at 16:30
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07pfc36
This was a talk on Sharia Law or Councils within the UK. Whilst it as not compulsory for a Muslim to use it and it as no backing of UK Law, which is still Primary Law of the UK.
It deals mainly with family law, divorce, inheritance, custody of children etc.
What came out of it was the suggestion of all Muslim marriages in the UK to be registered by the register office official in a similar manner to anyone else who gets married in the UK.
Muslim Patrol Jailed for Attempting to Impose Sharia Law in London
[quote="Metro"]
Three Muslim vigilantes who recorded their attempts to impose sharia law on the streets of London before posting the clips on YouTube have been jailed.
The trio, members of a self-styled ‘Muslim Patrol’ group, threatened strangers for holding hands, drinking alcohol and other behaviour they deemed ‘un-Islamic’.
Jordan Horner, 19, Ricardo McFarlane, 26, and a third man who can’t be named for legal reasons yesterday pleaded guilty to a variety of charges, including actual bodily harm and affray.
Video footage shows the group telling one couple not to walk down the street holding hands in ‘a Muslim area’ and ordering others to move away from a mosque.
‘These men routinely threatened and intimidated innocent members of the public,’ said prosecutor Baljit Ubhey.
‘They would roam the streets, seeking out victims whom they could target, and chanting threats to “kill the non-believers”.
‘On the nights in question they confronted and aggressively intimidated a couple who were holding hands in the street, a group of friends who were drinking alcohol, and a girl whom they deemed to be dressed provocatively.’
They were sentenced to jail terms of between 24 weeks and 17 months.

Qasas and Diyat fitna Lahore police hunt 'blood money' suspect
Pakistani police have launched a murder hunt after the widow and mother-in-law of a man shot dead by CIA contractor Raymond Davis last year were killed.
Police suspect Zohra Haider's father of killing her and her mother.
It is thought he was upset at her plans to re-marry, fearing either dishonour or that he might lose out financially.
The acquittal came when relatives of the dead men pardoned him in court in return for receiving compensation estimated to be about 200 million rupees ($2.34m, £1.1m), known as "blood money". Under Pakistani Sharia law, relatives of a murder victim can pardon the killer.
The family bought the new house - in a middle class neighbourhood of Lahore - with "blood money" they received.
Nabeela Bibi was shot in the family's new house, police say, while Zohra Haider was chased down the street by her father before being killed.
