Religious Law tribunals can be part of negotiation stage of Civil Procedure but the parties involved should not feel culturally obliged to conform

Additional Information

Sharia & Jewish Law tribunals used during the mandatory negotiation & arbitration (Civil Procedure) stage of Civil Law should be discouraged, if the parties involved felt pressure to conform to cultural values - prior to taking formal civil court proceedings (in divorce, civil litigation, financial, employment issues, etc). Agreement amongst the parties involved in the negotiation & arbitration stage is not recognised as court judgments but they are part of the statutory Civil Procedure. There are over 85 Islamic Sharia tribunals/courts in Britain, settling disputes according to Islamic religious principles which can be regarded as agreement in the mandatory Civil Procedure. Religious tribunals are not court of record but should be consistent in their judgements & should not approve of issues that are contrary to British law (regarding extra marital affairs, the best & paramount interest of children, duties of the wife, etc).
