Despite the fact that they are divorced according to Swedish law, many women in Sweden remain trapped in their Muslim marriages as they have not been allowed to divorce even religiously by an imam.

It is SVT Assignment review that talked to several women who were denied religious divorce by imams in Sweden. In one example, they take the Iraqi "Safa" who first came to Sweden alone with the children. When the man later joined, he began to abuse her.

In another example, it is "Fatima" who came to Sweden to marry an Iraqi man who grew up here. The marriage soon turned into a prison.

In both cases, the couples have divorced according to Swedish law, but the religious marriage has imams refused to dissolve because the men said no.

Sharia controls
For many Muslims, the religious divorce is necessary in order to move on with their lives, otherwise the women are not considered divorced.

According to sharia, the man has an unconditional right to file for divorce. But if the woman wants, and the man refuses, she can be forced to remain in the religious marriage or alternatively give up the bridal gift that in Islam is written into the marriage contract as a financial security.

- I would like to say that this problem exists in all marriages where the woman requests a divorce and the man does not want to admit it or consent to it, says lawyer Ada Alak to Assignment review .
