Many Muslim couples marry under a religious ceremony called the Nikah that is not legally recognized in the UK. In jurisdictions such as the UK and the US, marriage is a civil legal status acquired through a legal civil ceremony. In addition to the Nikah, a civil marriage must be performed at a Registry office according to UK law. Otherwise the marriage is not valid and the parties do not acquire any enforceable legal rights.
The laws do not single out Muslim marriages in this instance. Any marriage performed by only a religious ceremony would not be legally recognized.
