We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Recognise the Islamic Nikah as a legal form of marriage
It’s time for the UK Government to recognise the Islamic Nikah as a legal form of marriage. At present, a couple may have wed Islamically: started a family & built a home together; yet still have no legal rights. Not everyone is aware of this.
More details
STOP a widow being left with no financial security.
A couple build their future together, be it under the Islamic law, or the UK law; they are both still a married couple!
A widow will already be suffering, but then be told they have no access or rights to assets they have both built together. Is this acceptable?
