Further to earlier posts on this topic, Ontario has rejected the use of
Shariah law to settle family problems such as divorce, inheritance, and
child custody. The Quebec Superior Court recently made a similar
ruling. The government and the courts felt that women would be
discriminated against within the Moslem culture in violation of the
Canadian Rights and Freedom Laws. It is ulikely that the matter will be
raised in any of the other provinces, so Shariah Law is a dead issue in
Canada.
