“AI v MT [2013] EWHC 100 (Fam). The Times (amongst others) today deserves a spell on the legal naughty step. Its headline announces that a judge’s decision ‘opens way to divorces by Sharia’. One might expect therefore to find that the judgment giving rise to the headline – the decision of Baker J in the Family Court in AI v MT – was about Sharia law, or otherwise had something to do with it. In fact the judgment concerned a Jewish divorce under the auspices of the Beth Din, and had nothing to do with Sharia at all.”
