Peer's bill to limit the influence of Sharia law in UK

On Friday, a crossbench peer is introducing a bill designed to limit the influence of Sharia law in legal cases in the UK.

Caroline Cox claimed "many Muslim women are suffering horrendously under the present provisions", when she spoke to Jo Coburn about the need for her bill.

Aina Khan, a specialist solicitor in Islamic law, agreed there was a problem, but claimed the bill was a 鈥渕ish mash", and not well drafted.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage later joined in the Daily Politics debate.
