Muslims want Islamic divorce court for Perth 
Muslims in Perth want to establish a special Islamic divorce court to give
women the right to seek arbitration in difficult break-ups.

The Islamic Council of WA is working with the Muslim Women's Support Centre
to create Perth's first sharia court to settle disputed divorces, as
currently Muslims must travel abroad to get a judgment under Islamic law.

The Federal Government has rejected the idea, saying it only recognises
secular law. 
The Islamic Council says the court will not interfere with Australian law,
but would help to fulfil the legal requirements of Islamic law.

However, the president of the Ethnic Communities Council, Suresh Rajan, says
there could be problems with two sets of laws.
