arrghh too depressing why would the mother in law do this ? and why bring the girl to the uk shes innocent and vunerable and why under false pretences like showing a fake pic??
Gah, how is such a marriage recognizable under sharia? If there's deception/deceit on the part of one of the parties, doesn't that nullify the whole thing?
I was curious as to the Islamic Sharia Organization of Britain that was mentioned in the article. Per their website, they disavow this type of marriage.
Clarification about Timesonline article
We are corresponding with Timesonline to clarify which "sharia council" was referred to in the article (as there are many "sharia council's" operating in UK). Anyhow, there is no doubt, according to the facts stated in the article, the Islamic Sharia Council does not approve this kind of marriage as it does not conform to Islamic requirements of a valid marriage.

I'm confused, is the sharia council now stating that phone marriages overall are invalid? as I thought they were
A GIRL of 15 was tricked into a "telephone marriage" ceremony to a Sheffield man with a mental age of five in a ceremony recognised by sharia (Islamic law).
Is that islamic law? Marrage just like that ? it better not be!

The think-tank's report comes after Gordon Brown, the prime minister, said last week that he was extremely concerned that too little was being done to prevent honour crimes.
this is no different than the jahyliya times when female infanticide was rampant..
only now they wait until she is a little older..
7asbona Allah wa'ni3ma alwakeel..
ignorance, poverty and disease seem to always walk hand in hand..
wa sob7an Allah.. this is so disheartening, I can't even bare to read it.. and they do it all under the name of Islam.. how sickening.
Text without context is pretext If your opponent is of choleric temperament, seek to irritate him
actually.. u'd be surprised... this is very common in the indian communities as well; some punjabi families have also done things like this.. the mentality of the south asian people astounds me sometimes.. people are not 'God Fearing' anymore, they're more "Reputation Fearing"... the amount 'honour killings' and 'female foetocide' in south asian countries is disgusting..
this begs the question, how do we educate a whole region on this?

edit- "Conducting marriage contract by telephone
Question:
I want to get married to a girl but her father is in another country, and at present I cannot travel there for us to be all together, because of financial and other circumstances. I am also in a foreign country. Is it permissible for me to phone her father so that he can say, “I offer you my daughter So and so in marriage,” and I can say, “I accept,” with the consent of the girl and in the presence of two Muslim witnesses who are listening to what he and I say by means of speakers attached to the phone? Would this be considered as a valid marriage contract according to sharee’ah?
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
I put this question to our Shaykh al-Mufti al-‘Allaamah ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Baaz, who replied that if what is described is genuine (and there is no cheating involved), then it achieves the purpose of meeting the shar'i conditions of nikaah and the marriage contract is valid. And Allaah knows best.
