“…Thus, the Sharia has become a part of Greek law although it is only applicable to some 100,000 Greek nationals. 72 However, the decisions of the mufti do not have res judicata effect and are only enforceable after a decision of the Greek court. 73 In the so-called Borrás Report it has been indicated that Brussels II bis is only applicable to civil proceedings and all merely religious proceedings are excluded from its scope.…”

“…In other words, women who do not reach a settlement with their husband are more likely to remain in a non-functioning marriage. 63 In this respect, the economic imperative seems to operate as a suspensory factor and the described type of divorce is being transformed into a system of discouragement for Muslim minority women.…”

The Legal Treatment of Muslim Minority Women under the Rule of Islamic Law in Greek Thrace

The treatment of women in the frame of Islam has become subject to lively debate, lately concentrated in domains of the West where Islamic law seeks recognition without Islam being the prevailing creed. The discussions often are focused on concerns whether Muslim women are confronted with discriminative treatment and impediments to their access to justice. In this context, Greece occupies a unique position. Greece constitutes the only European State that recognises officially a special Islamic jurisdiction. In Thrace, Mufti tribunals are considered the cornerstone of application of Islamic law and administration of Islamic justice. However, this regime has been repeatedly criticised for failing to safeguard Muslim women's rights. This article engages with the legal treatment of the women who belong to the Muslim Minority of Western Thrace. It examines the ways in which this religious normative regime affects their access to justice and the potential impacts that are generated from their subjection to the authority of the system thereof. The analysis is based on a methodology that combines the study of domestic and international legal scholarship with insights that were drawn from the study on representative case law of the local Sharia courts and of the competent civil courts.
