For adherents to the Islamic faith in England and Wales, there are two courts to consider when contemplating Muslim divorce. These are:

• The 12 Islamic sharia courts in the UK, overseen by the Islamic Sharia Council in London
• The secular, civil court which presides over all divorce cases, in accordance with UK law

For many Muslims, a muslim divorce must be enacted through both these courts in order to be finalised to their satisfaction, even though a divorce granted through the civil court alone is considered a full legal divorce in the UK. A Muslim marriage, which took place in a country in which it is legally recognised, or in a registered UK mosque, is recognised as legally valid; therefore such a couple may petition the civil court for a divorce.

The sharia court in the UK mainly presides over divorce initiated from a wife’s side (Khul). This is because a husband can obtain a Muslim divorce by simply declaring his intention three times (Talaq), usually at three-monthly intervals. Generally, he should let the ex-wife keep the money or property (maher) he settled on her, by Islamic law, upon the marriage. If he does not, then the wife may apply to the sharia court for a ruling on the matter.

In contrast, if a wife cannot obtain the consent of her husband to a divorce, she may apply for an annulment from the sharia court, citing particular reasons; such as violence or adultery.  If a husband disputes the divorce, her testimony must be corroborated by two other witnesses; preferably two males. If the sharia court approves her request, she will be granted dissolution of the marriage and, in some circumstances, may pay the ex-husband an amount equivalent to the maher. An application to the sharia court by a wife may take several years to resolve.

It may be the case, that if a civil divorce has been granted, this will hasten a Muslim divorce, as reconciliation will seem less likely. On the other hand, if a Muslim couple married according to Islamic law only, and did not have a civil registration of that marriage, then a civil divorce will not be required.

If you are a Muslim and considering a divorce through the UK courts, consulting a family law solicitor who has additional expertise in Islamic law may be the best course of action.

On November 23, 2010, the California Supreme Court declined review of the First Appellate District’s decision in Howard v. American National Fire Insurance Co., 187 Cal. App. 4th 498 (2010).  As I noted in a prior blog post.  Howard provides powerful, additional support for policyholders demanding that their liability insurer fund a settlement.

In Howard, the Court of Appeal considered whether an insurer can be held liable for bad faith breach of its duty to settle if it rejects a settlement offer that is within the total available limits of all the insurers’ policies, but which exceeds the limits of its own individual policy.  In the first clear statement of California law on this issue, the First Appellate District concluded that in a “multiple insurer case, the law cannot excuse one insurer for refusing to tender its policy limits simply because other insurers likewise acted in bad faith.  If this were not the case, insurers on the risk could simply all act in bad faith, thus immunizing themselves from bad faith liability.”  The Court of Appeal went on to find that an excess judgment is not necessarily required in order to support a finding of bad faith failure to settle, particularly where the insured also sustains consequential damages arising out of the insurer’s conduct.

California policyholders and their counsel frequently face the situation presented in Howard:  a loss giving rise to a potential for coverage under multiple policies.  Before the Howard decision, each insurer would often take the position that it had no duty to settle unless the plaintiff’s settlement demand was within the limits of its own individual policy.  The First Appellate District clearly rejected this premise, holding that each such insurer faces bad faith exposure if it rejects a reasonable settlement demand that is within the combined indemnity limits of all triggered policies.  Now, the California Supreme Court has both denied review and denied the defendant insurer’s depublication request.  Thus, Howard remains a citable authority on which policyholders can rely to demonstrate that their insurer has a present duty to fund settlement.
