The thing with Sharia is that it is loose enough to be interpreted in many different ways. As the saying goes in the Muslim community, if you find something you want to do badly enough, you can find a "scholar" willing to give you a fatwa for it. This can range from honour killings to an exemption from the ban on drinking alcohol.
However, as you mentioned yourself, this particular set of opinions is rarely drawn together in practice to come to this conclusion, and when it is, it is often to justify other forces at play - tribal cultures and so-call "honour killings".
Ps. Not sure why you got downvotes for a well-researched and well-presented statement. I gave you an upvote for it.
