A 2018 Independent review into sharia law however found that Muslim couples often fail to register their religious marriage. Normally the marriage involves the signing of the Nikah (a marriage contract). Without a civil wedding ceremony, the marriage is not recognised in this country and if the marriage breaks down, the couple will have limited options in relation to how the English courts can assist since it is regarded as a "non-marriage". This will depend on whether there are: Children (allowing for a claim under Schedule 1 of the Children Act) Owned property (allowing for a claim uder the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996) Non-marriages, as opposed to void or voidable marriages, are deemed as having no legal consequence, rendering the court unable to redistribute any of the marital wealth when these relationships end. This is unlike void or voidable marriages, which are considered as having enough of the hallmarks of a marriage to trigger this financial ordering process. **If you're considering or going through a divorce, click below for a free initial consultation with one of our expert solicitors.** [Click here to read](https://vardags.com/law-guide/religious-divorces/islamic-divorce) more or [here for our complete list of Divorce FAQs](https://vardags.com/faq/divorce) [Book Your Free Consultation](https://vardags.com/contact "Book Your Free Consultation") [Vardags climbs ranks of UK's biggest firms in The Lawyer's UK 200](https://vardags.com/posts/vardags-london-climbs-ranks-of-uks-biggest-firms-in-the-lawyers-uk-200) OUR FULL RANGE OF SERVICES -------------------------- Vardags is one of the UK's leading divorce law firms.
