UK’s First Female Sharia Council Judge Defends Rape and Violence
During a television segment on the Today Programme, BBC reporter Nick Robinson had a heated debate with Dr. Amra Bone, a lecturer in Islamic Law and Islamic Studies regarding the oppressive nature of Sharia councils, which have notoriously been used as outlets that support wife-beating and ignore marital rape.
Under Sharia law, men have complete superiority over women and a wife is expected to be a slave to her husband. Sharia law stresses that women must obey and deeply respect their husbands, and it gives a husband the right to punish his wife through beatings if she disobeys his authority or rules.
Why any female would ever serve as a Sharia council judge to defend Sharia law is beyond fathomable, but Dr. Amra Bone, a lecturer in Islamic Law and Islamic Studies defended the Sharia councils saying, “the majority were set up to help women to move on with their lives because that is exactly what they wanted.”
Yes. That’s right. Amra is suggesting that women want to be treated like dogs who must obey their masters. But, even my dog is treated better than a woman living under Sharia Law.

EXPRESS, December 7, 2016
Dr Amra Bone, a lecturer in Islamic Law and Islamic Studies, was grilled by Nick Robinson on the Today programme over multiple allegations Sharia councils support “extremists, condone wife-beating and ignore marital rape”.
The academic claimed the councils were there to help people understand Islam and hit back at suggestions the Sharia code treats women as “second-class”.
She told the BBC: “There is no doubt there have been issues and problems with some of the councils. But I think there have been a lot of false accusations thrown against the Sharia councils at the same time.
“I can only talk from my own experience, that the Sharia councils, the majority were set up to help women to move on with their lives because that is exactly what they wanted.”
When asked over suggestions women can be stopped from speaking during council hearings she said: “No that is not what I have experienced at all.
