Aina Khan, Head of the Islamic Department at Duncan Lewis Solicitors, held the 'Register Our Marriage' road show on 7 March 2017, organised by Bradford's Muslim Women's Council. The road show was invited back to Bradford by popular demand after it was first held in 2015. A packed hall of men and women, young and old, took part in a stimulating discussion about the rapidly growing number of unregistered marriages in the Muslim community, which is leaving increasing numbers of people with no rights under British Law. Aina Khan said 'the marriage laws need to be updated to require all religious marriages to be legally registered. At present, nobody knows for sure if their UK religious marriage is legal or not - it appears more than 80% of marriages are not'.
