Not the government. This is the Court of Appeal. The government doesn’t control the courts in the UK - the government is accountable to the courts, not the other way round.
I’d guess that Sharia marriages are valid in Minnesota.
Does that apply to the second, third and fourth “marriage” as well?
If she’s married by shari’ah then she has the recourse of shari’ah, if she’s married by English law she has the recourse of English law.
