"Big Love" in Britain - Muslims seek to impose Shari'a Law on the UK

BBC reports that "Muslims in Britain are to challenge UK law which forbids husbands from having more than one wife.

They say they will refer Britain's ban on polygamous marriage to the European Court of Human Rights this autumn.

Under Islamic law a man is allowed to have up to four wives, but the Muslim Parliament of Britain says that many families are being forced to live outside the law because their polygamous marriages are not recognised here.

There are no official figures on the number of people practising polygamy in Britain, but it's estimated that there may be hundreds."
