One of the problems is that when action is taken against one group, let’s say because of a perceived issue with women’s rights, other groups also get caught in the net. Something similar happened in Ontario when there was legislation to remove Sharia law from the Arbitration Act and Batei Din ended up caught as collateral damage.
“Religious Muslims were predictably disappointed and vowed to fight on, while Jewish groups were angry over Premier Dalton McGuinty’s additional comments that not only would Sharia go unrecognized, but Ontario would, as soon as possible, rescind the authority, of any faith-based tribunals in settling family disputes allowed under the 1991 Arbitration Act. They face the outlawing of their decades-old rabbinical courts (beit din).”
