Q2: Is a civil marriage ceremony also required in the UK?
osama ebrahim2025-07-10T17:10:10+00:00A2: Yes, an Islamic Nikah ceremony conducted by us is a religious contract. It is not automatically recognized as a legal civil marriage under UK law. For your marriage to be legally binding and grant full legal rights (e.g., inheritance, divorce), you must also undergo a separate civil marriage ceremony at a registry office or a venue licensed for civil marriages. We strongly advise all couples to complete a civil marriage.
