If Muslim women themselves were feeling "threatened" by Sharia law then that's a problem, I agree. But I see it as more of a problem of contract law, rather than marriage law.

If they marry a Muslim man in a Muslim religious ceremony, after entering into a Muslim marriage contract, then it seems to me that they've brought some of these problems on themselves.

People always want the sweet but not the bitter. If Sharia law was beneficial to them, would they complain? I am willing to bet that they are eager to enforce the provisions that give them a property settlement in the event of divorce.

At any rate, that's what I've seen here with Muslim marriage contracts. They want to enforce them if they benefit, and get out of them if they don't benefit.

Human nature, I guess.
