What is the validity of the divorce certificate outside and in U.K.? PDF Print E-mail
IN U.K.
The Islamic Sharia Council deals with the islamic divorce only and islamic divorce certificate issued by it has neither any association with the civil divorce nor has any bearing on it.

Where a couple had an islamic marriage only and did not have a civil registration, civil divorce is not required and Islamic divorce cerfiticate will suffice them.

OUTSIDE U.K.
If the couple married outside U.K. and either spouse was sponsored to U.K and was granted indefinite leave to remain then both divorces are necessary to finalize the matter i.e. Civil and Islamic divorce.

In the case of marrying outside U.K but not sponsoring the spouse, civil divorce will not be required, Council's islamic divorce is generally accepted by many Islamic countries like Pakistan, Iran, Egypt etc. We recommend you to consult the relevant consulate before filing for the Islamic Divorce.

Please note legalization of the divorce certificate is required before it can be submitted abroad (The relevant authority / jurisdiction which registered the marriage). Details of the legalization procedure are provided with the certificate.
