Nikah and legal marriage in England.
In England and Wales a nikah on its own is generally not a legal marriage, so most couples either hold the nikah at a registered building with an authorised person, or add a civil ceremony. You give notice at your local register office, generally at least 28 days beforehand. Our guide to nikah in the UK explains both routes.
