It looks like the people who participated in the Women's March are getting what they wanted. Before the Woman's March chose Linda Sarsour to be its leader, she had made four different tweets in favor of the U.S. adopting Sharia law. Now the left wing women are getting exactly what the asked for. I hope they are happy.
Texas judge denies woman divorce proceedings in favor of Sharia tribunal
Texas judge denies woman divorce proceedings in favor of Sharia tribunal

A Texas judge earlier this year ordered that a Muslim woman seeking a divorce appear before a tribunal governed by Sharia, a move that her lawyers said was unconstitutional.
In March, Collin County District Judge Andrea Thompson ordered that Mariam Ayad, a woman attempting to divorce her husband, Ayad Hashim Latif, forgo the usual legal paths and instead submit to arbitration under a Fiqh panel, governed by a traditional Muslim group based in Saudi Arabia. Thompson’s reasoning rested on a prenuptial agreement between the two in which Ayad agreed to allow her marriage to be arbitrated according to Sharia.
Ayad said that when she signed the document, she did not realize that she was submitting to Sharia, according to court documents. Instead, she said she thought she was signing two copies of a marriage acknowledgment form. Under Sharia, a woman’s testimony in divorce proceedings is worth half of a man’s, making her plea to be removed from that agreement especially urgent, her attorneys wrote.
