oodles; this was a point I made earlier on today. I have met a few Muslim women who are not aware that a nikkah is not legally a marriage and that a civil marriage has to take place. It causes issues as the man can divorce the woman in a religious manner, but the woman can't divorce him or ask for property to be dealt with through the civil divorce courts. Huge problems due to a lack of knowledge on marriage law in the UK.
