How is your rant justifying that slimo Vance and Trump have a huge ego and can lecture the Pope on ethics? They are the last people on this planet who should give morality lessons. F'in hypocrits!!! Click to expand... Freedom of speech? Free to say and write stupid crap, whether it's true, justified or not. I'm not justifying what they say and do and whatever consequences come from it, so be it. Unfortunately, they create chaos and we clearly don't need that. Is it not allowable to question or disagree with the Pope? The Catholic church hasn't been the de facto government in Europe for hundreds of years and it has done so much bad over the last centuries.......even during WWII, they straddled the fence between right and wrong. Sure, they helped people, but they also aided the Nazis.

That's the problem. Not registered in British civil courts means they are not really married and may create other issues too.

Why can't people who observe other religions, or not, bypass this? How and why can they marry without registering? How can two sets of laws work in a free country that makes its own laws and says it operates by the rule of law? Is it OK for someone to advertise real estate sales/rentals, jobs and retail or wholesale sales only for Muslims or don't equal opportunities exist, anymore? Click to expand... I would suspect that in the eyes of the law, such relationships are considered common law or civil unions. So, when such a marriage is formed within the Islamic faith, a divorce would have to be pursued within the faith, as well.

Oh absolutely, in such an arrangement you are effectively co-habiting which is English and Welsh law is a much less robust for of union than a formally recognized marriage. When I married my wife, it wasn't an act of love. We already had that. It was to ensure that she and our kids were fully protected by all the legal shields that are available. But we digress.
