Re: legal civil registeration in UK
No. A nikkah is valid in the UK so long as it was conducted in a land where nikkah is a legal way of getting married.
For example, a nikkah in Pakistan is accepted as a valid licence in the UK. But a nikkah from France is not considered as a valid marriage licence in the UK, because nikkah has no legal status in France.
but wot about the nikaah taken place in UK?.....on UK land?.....will it not be enough evidence to the authorities that i am married to this person under Islam?
