I have myself explained to Muslim teenagers (many times) that no marriage is valid in this country unless a registrar is present, but, although they were very polite, I could see they did not believe me.

Are you sure, Jack? Every C of E wedding I have been to in my long life has had a pause and music whilst the bridal couple disappear into the vestry where the registrar is waiting to do his/her bit, also the text-book I was using said the same.
Marriages abroad are under the law of the country they are conducted in, of course.

Thanks for that, Jackdaw. It still means that there has to be a Registrar present, doesn't it, even if it is the priest officially acting in that capacity. I did often wonder about a Registrar sitting there in silence all tat time. :)
I've never been married in Church. We are contemplating it when we've got over the cost of the windows.
Anyway, I was right in telling them that a mosque wedding alone was not
legal and a Registrar (or official substitute) had to 'do the deed'.

You are right there. The priest is the 'registrar'. I know this because as an ex-organist I have played at countless weddings. Sometimes the registers are signed in the body of the church, it varies. My brother was married in the RC church. When he arrived for the service it was cancelled because the priest had forgotten to book the registrar. He got married three days later.

that would be to muslim lads wouldnt it
the girls generally have more brains ....
altho I have to say that trying to explain anything ( as a non teacher ) to anyone under 20 y of age by and large is a waste of time
they seem to need to have to do the experiment

This is what she actually said, from lower down the same article !
“Many British people of different faiths follow religious codes and practices, and benefit a great deal from the guidance they offer.''
“A number of women have reportedly been victims of what appear to be discriminatory decisions taken by Sharia councils, and that is a significant concern''.
“There is only one rule of law in our country, which provides rights and security for every citizen''

So the actual quote says the opposite of what The Express headline says!!!
Definitely the worst case of taking a quote out of context and making it mean what you want it to say I have ever seen.
I hope 'The Express ' is sued and made to print a front page apology !
By the way I am far from being a fan of Theresa May, but this is ridiculous.
It must be close to Liable.
