Duncan Lewis, Family Solicitors, Aina Khan’s “Register Our Marriage Roadshow” in London 10th June

Aina Khan’s “Register Our Marriage Roadshow” will be taking place at the Barristers Chambers at 36 Bedford Row in London on Wednesday 10th June 2015.

The “Register Our Marriage” Roadshow has already seen successful turnouts throughout the UK, and will be taking place in 36 Bedford Row in London on Wednesday 10th June 2015. Spaces are strictly limited and by registration only. Email ainak@duncanlewis.com (or call 020 7932 8468).

Aina’s Roadshow, as part of her “Register Our Marriage” project will see Aina giving a talk followed by a discussion on the importance of registering religious marriages conducted in the UK. It is estimated that around 80% of young British Muslims are in unregistered marriages and that this is growing rapidly.

As a consequence of this, many couples are left with no legal rights upon divorce or to inheritance and pension rights. Given the shocking deficiency in quantitative and qualitative data, intellectual paralysis has set in.

With this in mind, Aina Khan has personally initiated Roadshows around the UK to facilitate reform by Muslims themselves, by way of ‘Ijma’ (consensus) and ‘Ijtihad’ (rational analogy).

Aina’s next Roadshow will be taking place at 36 Bedford Row in London on the 10th June 2015 from 4.30 until 7.00pm.

As part of the 'Register Our Marriage' Roadshow, a set of distinctive and innovative mechanisms have been put in place to address the situation:


a) A wide-ranging survey on Muslim marriage and divorce (launched on Surveymonkey on 30 September 2014) See link here.

b) A strong social media campaign to quickly reach the under 30s

c) A nationwide series of road shows visiting major UK cities

d) A series of webinars and blogs with ‘How To’ guides on Muslim marriage and divorce, including simple prenuptial agreements to prevent financial disputes

e) Training materials for Mosques and wedding venues to register marriages

f) Disseminating the widely recognised Islamic narrative of formally recognised marriage and unequivocal financial support of wives and children

g) Setting up of ‘Women friendly’ Sharia Councils to grant Islamic divorces to women who do not have the power of divorce given in the Islamic marriage contract
