Pat, I'm only new on this and was just looking thru some of the comments.. Have you heard from your daughter yet??? It's really scary to think that young girls can be taken advantage like that, and what's worse is that she could even have a ceremony in a mosque in the UK without a parent or guardians permission.

I'm here in Ireland I went to morocco to marry my husbands he wanted a muslim wedding, but i knew my husband and i lived with him in Spain we also had a daughter together previous to me going to morocco, and the first time i went all the paper work and to-ing and fro-ing was a joke so we decided against it and left it to the following summer then the following summer we went back to morocco and same paper work i had a blood test because you can,t marry if your with child......... I was pregnant :)

my husband never got his muslim wedding after all he had a registery office wedding here in Ireland but that's niether here nor there, what I'm trying to say is can they just marry kids at the drop of a hat like that, no questions asked nothing, no paperwork? What has the world come to, I think that i have been walking around with my eyes closed for the last number of yrs i feel sick now after some of the stuff i've read here today.I'm sure Your Daughter knows that a Muslim marriage is not a legal civil marriage by now, I really hope you have her back home by now plez keep intouch if you get this,Take care. If there's anything i can do or look into for you please don't hesitate to contact me

warm regards,

sash.
