Phone marriage?

Okay according to the Islamic Shariah code, even if one of the "participants" is autistic, but not according to the British Justice system: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/global/main.jhtml?xml=/global/2008/03/20/noindex/nphone119.xml&CMP=EMC-expat2008. And speaking of Shariah, the gender-apartheid Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has just witnessed the opening of the world's first "Women Only" hotel: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/global/main.jhtml?xml=/global/2008/03/20/noindex/nluthan120.xml&CMP=EMC-expat2008.

Anyone want to try to sell me on how Shariah is just a "different" way of doing things?

At least they haven't gone completely insane.
