The Wife does not feel Completely Free to enter into another Marriage
By April 2002, the Council had dealt with almost four thousand five hundred cases presented to it. The majority of these cases concern divorce, where the wife has obtained a British divorce which is not accepted by the husband, who considers such a divorce to be unacceptable with no bearing upon his right as a husband. As a result, the wife does not feel completely free to enter into another marriage before obtaining an Islamic Talaq.
If there is a positive response from the husband, the Council will reason with him assuring him the return of his financial claim under the agreement of Khul'a, after which the Islamic divorce is granted. A great relief for the wife who is now free Islamically, to start a new life.
Although the Council is not legally Recognized, Experienced Scholars Help to Make a Positive Response to the Muslim Community
Though the Council is not yet legally recognized by the authorities in the UK, the fact that it is already established, and is gradually gaining ground among the Muslim community, and the satisfaction attained by those who seek its ruling, are all preparatory steps towards the final goal of gaining the confidence of the host community in the soundness of the Islamic legal system and the help and insight they could gain from it. The experience gained by the scholars taking part in its procedures make them more prepared for the eventuality of recognition for Islamic law.
Sitting back and waiting for the civic local authorities to solve the problems of the Muslim community does not present a positive response to the challenges facing the Muslims. Taking the initiative in building Islamic institutions whether in the field of worship, education, business transactions or in the field of jurisdiction, all represent practical viable answers to the challenges facing Muslims in the West.
