- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if she will bring forward legislative proposals to ban Sharia courts.
- Answer
-
The Government has no plans to regulate or restrict religious processes (such as sharia courts) where all parties consent to those processes. This is consistent with Britain’s long history of freedom of worship and religious tolerance.
Sharia Courts are not part of the judicial system in England and Wales.
