Original Note:
Estimates claim up to 85 Sharia councils (not courts) exist in the UK, but have no legal status and no binding authority under UK civil law. Sharia councils are voluntary groups of scholars who offer advice to Muslims concerning religious and family matters. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/applying-sharia-law-in-england-and-wales-independent-review https://factcheck.afp.com/sharia-has-not-been-adopted-uk-law https://perma.cc/LWW4-VDR6 https://www.gbnews.com/news/britain-sharia-law-courts-western-capital https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CDP-2019-0102/CDP-2019-0102.pdf
