[muskaan1987]

hi there

recently my sister has been divorced islamicaly

she got married in 2000 nov pakistan in an islamic cermony

now she got divorced islamicaly (talaq x3)

my question is that is she legly married in the english law or not since she did not register it in the first place when he came over to uk


plus if she is not married in the uk law does that mean she can get married again without her ex intervining in it

also when she sponcored her ex did this automaticaly register her marriage


thanks

The following is advice from the Sharia Council
Note: Almost for all overseas Islamic Marriage you either need a divorce from the country of marriage, or a civil Divorce (Decree Absolute) from an English Court in addition to an Islamic Divorce from your husband or Shari’ah Council.
Was the divorce certificate issued by a court?
i.e If you haven't obtained a divorce through the court in Pakistan, you will need to apply through a British court. You can't have it both ways...your marriage would have been considered legal for Immigration purposes (or your husband wouldn't have been granted his visa), It's irrelevant that you didn't register it in the UK. As the situation stands at present, neither of you will be able to sponsor a spouse from outside of the UK.

Sorry, I realise I should have addressed my comments to your sister. If she only has a Sharia certificate issued here and nothing from the court in Pakistan, then she isn't divorced under British law.
Note this section from my previous post:
or a civil Divorce (Decree Absolute) from an English Court in addition to an Islamic Divorce from your husband or Shari’ah Council.
