Why do you think it's acceptable to have a civil court based on religious principles? The idea is wrong and is the start of a slippery slope.

- arethuza 12y agoAs far as I know, they aren't "courts" - they have no legal power. They are just people trying to resolve disputes outside of the courts - which is actually pretty common. I'm not trying to say that there won't be problems with these kinds of mechanisms, but if UK citizens want to get together and try and work through a dispute based on some religious principles and all parties agree then I don't think we should be trying to stop it.
