Divorce and separation

Myth

“My husband has given me the Islamic Talaq divorce in the UK but this is not sufficient to be recognised here as a divorce.”

Fact

There are strict guidelines concerning the granting of a divorce in the UK. Generally speaking, a Talaq divorce can be valid if it is given in the country in which the marriage was performed, provided certain criteria are met. A Talaq, properly executed, with witnesses, combined with the required notice periods as per Sharia law, can be recognised in the UK making a divorce superfluous.
