What is an Islamic Marriage or Divorce?
Islamic marriage and divorce processes often run alongside, or in addition to, civil procedures. A Nikah (Islamic marriage contract) is a sacred agreement recognised under Islamic law, but not automatically valid under UK law. This means that if your Nikah was not registered as a civil marriage, you may not have the same legal protections around finances or property when separating.
When it comes to Islamic divorce, there are several routes
