Question

I am already married in Pakistan. To live in the UK I need to do paper marriege (which is all wrong but I have no choice). For this I need to make a fake document from Pakistan as no objection letter or divorce certificate which my wife does not know about at all. So I need that paper to show here in the UK that I am single and ready to marry. Will that be considered real divorce or it would not affect my present marriage? If it does affect my marriage then how can I make my wife understand and make the relationship licit again?

Answer

To live in UK you have to forge these documents and tell lies. Whether divorce takes place or not is besides the point. The real issue is that telling such lies is a heinous sin in the eyes of God.

Therefore it is advisable that one does not attempt such a thing in the first place.
