Thanks for comments DJ...i have one of my daughter's friends that has been texting me as he heard she got married to the muslim boyfriend too. he is a muslim but not practising one. he has been here 4 years but he tells me too that it would not be legal either and mentioned this IMAM (priest i think) but she went 300 miles to be with her boyfriend and do this..so i will never find out who did the ceremony,but its interesting that you say that because she is underage that she would still have needed her parents consent which she didnt have.

also the boy is only 16 too.and she thinks that his father was present at this so called marriage but i found out for sure that he is under social care and hasnt got permanent stay in this country yet(altho im sure he thinks this "marriage"will help him along his way a bit quicker!) and has no father in this country! so all a bit of a mystery but is very brainwashed already as she is very defensive of her new"husband" even tho i have been careful not to say anything directly offensive about him, just said in a text to her yesterday that i didnt think it was a good idea for to come for xmas.

her new faith doesnt celebrate it like we do and that he would not like her to spend it here with her family and he would be constantly phoning her and checking who she was with all the time(even through the night last time) but she is turning it around saying im"small-minded" and if i dont accept him then dont accept her!!

never mind,but thanks for all your information,im totally unclued up on your religion,but its obvious that we have very different ways of thinking and the way we are brought up,although one could argue that there are a great deal of english husbands who are just as controlling and manipulative as the next race!!
