(Copenhagen Post) Late last month, an imam in Odense hit the front pages after being reported to the police for producing a Sharia law divorce contract dictating that a woman would lose her parental rights if she didn’t fulfill a list of unreasonable requirements.
Now, the government is aiming to crack down on the practice by seeking prison time for up to three years for imams who formulate such documents.
More specifically, the government intends to propose a law that would expand the punishment for psychological violence so that it also includes negative social control, Sharia divorce contracts and other practices used to deter citizens from getting divorced.
