Recognise the Islamic Nikah as a legal form of marriage

Petition Details

It’s time for the UK Government to recognise the Islamic Nikah as a legal form of marriage. At present, a couple may have wed Islamically: started a family & built a home together; yet still have no legal rights. Not everyone is aware of this.

Additional Information

STOP a widow being left with no financial security.

A couple build their future together, be it under the Islamic law, or the UK law; they are both still a married couple!

A widow will already be suffering, but then be told they have no access or rights to assets they have both built together. Is this acceptable?
