This paper endeavours to show that one can speak of legal pluralism in the English context. Muslim law in Britain exists both on an official level, where recognition is given by the legal system, and on an unofficial level where the official legal system refuses its recognition. Unofficial Muslim law has been applied in non-dispute situations of everyday lives of Muslims. Marriages and divorces are arranged according to the rules of Muslim law and customs. Muslim individuals apply relevant law in various contextual situations aiming to meet the demands of different overlapping normative orderings. This post-modern phenomenon reminds us that legal modernity has limits and that legal post-modernity is a reality
