Reporter Charlotte Callen spoke to Aina Khan as part of a documentary exploring the issue of “thousands of British Muslim women discovering that their marriages are not legal.”
In the documentary Aina states to Charlotte Callen; “I have found in my work, that more than 80% of Muslim marriages conducted in the UK are not registered, that is they are not legal under English law.”
Charlotte Callen discovers that the problem is directly related to the fact that 90% of mosques are not registered to perform marriages.
