We Understand Your Challenges
As a revert, the path to marriage can feel uniquely difficult. We built UK Muslim Marriage with you in mind.
Cultural Barriers
The problem: Many families are hesitant about their child marrying a revert, often due to cultural — not Islamic — reasons.
Our solution: Our platform lets you filter for revert-welcoming families who prioritise deen over culture.
Lack of Support Network
The problem: Without a Muslim family, you may not have a Wali or someone to guide you through the process.
Our solution: We provide Imam referrals across the UK who can serve as your Wali and guide you through the Nikah.
Knowledge Gaps
The problem: You might be unsure about the Islamic marriage process, rights, and expectations.
Our solution: Our comprehensive Nikah guide covers everything from the marriage contract to the wedding day.
Being Misunderstood
The problem: Some see your reversion as a phase rather than a sincere, lifelong commitment to Islam.
Our solution: Every profile is verified. Your sincerity is visible through your profile — let it speak for itself.

A Complete Guide to Nikah for Reverts
The Nikah (Islamic marriage contract) is a beautiful and straightforward process. As a revert, here's what you need to know:
What is a Nikah?
A Nikah is the Islamic marriage contract between a bride and groom, conducted in the presence of witnesses and a Wali (guardian). It includes the Mahr (dowry from groom to bride) and is officiated by an Imam or authorised person.
Do I need a Wali?
In most schools of Islamic thought, the bride requires a Wali (male guardian) to represent her interests. For reverts without a Muslim male relative, a local Imam can serve as your Wali. UK Muslim Marriage can connect you with Imams across the UK who are experienced in helping reverts.
Legal marriage in the UK
A Nikah alone is not legally recognised in the UK. For legal protection, you should also register your marriage at a registry office or have the Nikah performed at a registered venue. This gives you legal rights around property, inheritance, and divorce.
What about Mahr?
The Mahr is a gift from the groom to the bride — it is her right in Islam. It can be anything agreed upon: money, property, or even a symbolic gesture. There is no fixed amount.
