UK Atheist marrying Jordanian Muslim Man by duffy72
Hello all, I am hoping someone can help me. I have tried to understand online the Sharia Law and Civil Law and finding it all very confusing. My boyfriend and I are looking to get married. I am an Atheist and on paper he is a Muslim, although he ...
Just thought I would give you all an update. I've come a long way in my understanding of Islam and Jordan. My husband and I married in Jordan on 1st January 2020. We had a religious ceremony, but wrote a tonne of conditions into our ... Read More

Hi there, I didn't think it did matter what was down on paper in Jordan, but have since realised it would actually matter quite a lot. As in order to register my children, we have to register our marriage under the Sharia law. I didn't ... Read More

Oh ok. Apologies, I misunderstood, I thought his wife was from Jordan. So, if my partner and I get married in the UK and then get married in Jordan under Sharia law, but then come back to the UK to have children and register them in the UK as ... Read More

Hi XTang, I just wanted to quiz you a bit more about this scenario that your Swedish friend and his wife did. My partner and I discussed it last night. Would they still have a Jordanian Family book? Are they still recognised by Jordan as the ... Read More

Thanks XTang. This is interesting. It isn't about my personal preference. It is about the opportunities for my children. I put my children's future as the most important over my family. For example my father is Catholic and my mum ... Read More

I just don't know if there is a way around it. We can't find a way to compromise. I don't want our children to be Muslim on paper as I feel like it would hold them back from opportunities to choose what they want to be when they are ... Read More

Hi XTang, Thank you. This is really helpful. I don't mind if they are considered Muslim as long as that is not the case officially on paper. But it seems that if we register the children in Jordan that there is no way around it they would ... Read More

Thanks Primadonna! Religious law doesn't apply in the UK. So if we Marry here and have children they would not be muslim. However, if we register the children in Jordan would they then have to be muslim if we are not married in Jordan at all? ... Read More

Thanks Fred. He wants the marriage to be recognised in Jordan for his family sake. But he wouldn't raise children as Muslim, just would be Muslim legally on paper, which seems wrong to me to label someone as something they are not. If you ... Read More
