Marriage
but not under the laws of England and Wales.
In these circumstances, it means that it is unlikely that either party would be able to depend on English Matrimonial Law should they want to separate. The involvement of the courts would largely depend on whether they have any Children and whether they own property.
If a couple has celebrated both a Nikah and a Civil Ceremony, then they can go through both an Islamic divorce and a civil divorce so that they are separated both legally in the UK and under Islam.
Note that if a couple undertake a Nikah in a country where Islamic Marriage is legally recognised, then they do not need to register it in England as it will be recognised as a valid Marriage.
Divorce – Talaq
In the event of Talaq, this means that the husband has broken the contract of the Nikah so must pay the Haq Mehr in full if it was previously deferred or allow her to keep it if he has already paid it in full.
Divorce – Khula/Faskh
A Khula is where the wife and husband give their mutual consent to divorce. Specific terms may be agreed, for example, the wife returning the Mehr.
A Faskh is where the wife can apply to divorce the husband without his consent if he unreasonably refuses to give Talaq despite the marriage having broken down and if an amicable agreement cannot be made. This is similar to an annulment and can be used in cases of forced marriage.
