Question

I got married with a girl in a court according to UK marriage law. I just want to know is it acceptable in Islam. Or I have to do it in Islamic way as well. What should I do? I really need your help. I am so scared that I might not be committing zina.

Answer

The marriage conducted in this way fulfills the basic requirements for validity of an acceptable marriage in Islam. The two conditions are: a) consent of the adult partners and b) open declaration of the marriage. Your relation is legal. There is no need for you to repeat the marriage ceremony in the Mosque.
