In some ways I agree with the premise behind wanting contracts between consenting people to be able to be upheld in courts.
But our laws were made with (supposedly) fairness to all parties in mind and certainly not with favor for religious reasoning.
Muslims want to live here, it must be accepted.

You have the option to do what any American can do.....campaign to have the laws changed in regard to contracts and in the meantime or if not sucessful, settle for the same kind of influence other religions do in order to keep your adherents in line.
For instance, encouraging your Muslim community to not shop at the store of the pork-selling vendor.....to socially ostracize the man who leaves his wife for some chicky and refuses to support her as per your Sharia custom.
We still have some religion based laws and remnants of even more and when they are brought to attention, are usually discarded as unconstitutional.
We certainly don't want new ones unless the reasoning behind them is agreeable and applicable to all Americans.
