Divorce and separation is never easy, and Aramas Law can arrange an Islamic Divorce in tandem with UK Divorce Law and achieve payments of the wife’s ‘mahr’ (Mandatory Islamic Financial Settlement) along with the recovery of assets. This can be achieved even if the marriage has not been recognised by the English or Welsh courts.
Under Islam marriage is held in high estimation and is termed a Sunnah. A Nikkah is an Islamic marriage package under Sharia Law (Islamic Law) between a couple.
Nikkah marriages are not recognised in the UK and couples are termed cohabitees rather than man and wife. To ensure a marriage is recognised in the UK, it’s imperative to have a civil ceremony. This will give the married couple matrimonial rights so that they can apply to the family courts for financial redress in an event of a divorce. Whether a Nikkah ceremony takes place at home or at a venue or mosque that is not registered it will be unrecognised as a marriage in UK law.
A Nikkah is a binding contract between bride and groom in countries that operate Sharia Law (Muslim countries) for example Iran, Morroco, Saudi Arab and Pakistan. If a Nikkah takes place in a country that recognises Sharia law (and therefore recognises the marriage) for example if a Nikkah took place in Pakistan then that Nikkah will be recognised as a marriage in the UK, as the country in which the Nikkah took place recognised the Nikkah as a valid marriage.

If you need assistance in deciding the Mahr that should be given by the groom upon marriage, we can help. (This would mean due consideration of the groom’s financial situation.) The team also offers guidance and negotiation at the time of payment of the Mahr and if it should be referred to as security payable in the event of divorce.
If you are looking for counselling and mediation to help you with any difficulties in your marriage, we work with a specialist, highly confidential Muslim counsellor. We can also refer to religious scholars who can help you through mediation.
