According to a report published by Focus on Western Islamism on 8 April 2025, the British Parliament's Women and Equalities Committee has made a controversial proposal. They want the possession of images of Muslim women without a hijab to be considered a serious criminal offence. This offence would be equivalent to the possession of child pornography.
A new definition of ’intimate image“
The report proposes expanding the definition of’Intimate image without consent to include what they consider cultural intimacy. In this case, they refer to women who, according to the codes of honour of their Muslim community, They cannot appear unveiled on social media or in public photographs..
The proponents of the proposal claim that This law would prevent situations of honour-based violence., like those suffered by some Muslim girls when a photo of them without a veil was leaked.
This would mean that a simple photograph of a Muslim girl without a veil, even though it has no sexual content or any offensive intent by Western standards, could be considered a crime if she has not given permission for it to be shared.
Sharia through the back door
The most strident critics see this proposal as a way of introducing Sharia by the back door. Gavin Ashenden, former chaplain to Queen Elizabeth II, claims that the British government “Depends on the Muslim vote and for that reason Prefers Islamic culture through a two-tier legislative framework. This vision warns that Parliament would be acting like an Islamic court., imposing religious rules typical of the most rigorist Islam on all citizens.
The lawyer Richard Scorer, An abuse expert and consultant to Slater & Gordon also opposes the measure outright. According to him, “It is not appropriate to treat images that offend religious sensibilities as if they were equivalent to images of a sexual or exploitative nature.”. And he adds that doing so “Downplays the real gravity of sexual abuse”.
