the documentary you posted is actually trying to be sensationalistic and is taking things out of context and plain lying...
lets just take the first example where the woman "begs the shariah council for divorce and is ""desperate"" to escape her bad marriage"
the headline flat out ignores the fact that he neither beats her nor does the judge refuse to give her a divorce but asks them to try for one final month...the husband has no job and is a dead beat husband just like millions of christians...this is all that is going on in the first example...
lets be fair, in the west people also go to a court and try to work things out with a family council or therapy or whatever...divorces in the west ALSO take time and women have to get their husbands to grant them a divorce or go to court...
do muslims lay bigger value on preserving the family? absolutely!...you have to keep in mind that they live in the dessert and things like wellfare and jobs are non-existent...preserving the family is equal to survival, so you can understand the over-exaggerated need to preserve family in muslim societies...
the next example is some woman who got a divorce and her husband went back to pakistan, and all the shairah court asked her was to grant access to the husband to see her daughter, and in light of the fact he is poor as shit in pakistan, and she works in london, they asked her to pay for the visits, keep in mind the word ASKED not ordered...she refused and they said quote woman "if you refuse to do this then we can not help you (with a shariah divorce even though she has legal UK divorce and has not seen her husband in 6 years who went back to pakistan)" and then she felt quote "Extremely frustrated" and her face is covered like she is on the run from some drug cartel or something
"she was held to ransom, unless she agrees to her husband having contact with his daughter they would not grant her a shariah divorce" (even though she has a UK divorce and has not seen husband for 6 years)
journalism at its finest...imagine a cruel cruel western court asking the woman for a father to have contact with his daughter?
next example is the poor woman who actually got beat by her husband...the makers of the documentary flat out LIE that the shariah court wanted to GIVE the children to the abusive father, to make for a more interesting documentary, when in fact the court wanted to give ACCESS to BOTH parents after the divorce, and this is in fact, in accordance to any law in the world...she had been granted full divorce by the council and the UK...
then the "undercover reporter" fakes being an abused woman and is flat out told by the council 13:53 "if he starts punching you, hitting you, of course you HAVE to call the police, this is not allowed (the beating)" all the guy did was try to get as much info and he asked for the husband to come and try to work things out....wheres the evil part? he asked her if she did anything to provoke him, he asked her to birng her mother and husband...
next example is some female muslim who advises the "undercover reporter" not to call the police because it will "break her family"...keeping in mind how out-of-context the first few examples were...
so apart from "shariah court" trying to fix family issues, what exactly is the documentary complaining about? where is the evil part?
