未经法律承认的宗教仪式所形成的婚姻往往被认为是未经登记的穆斯林婚姻的同义词。在联合王国的政治讨论中，人们提出了这种结合的非法性和进行法律的干预的必要性，因为这种婚姻被认为是对妇女权利和更广泛的法律的和文化规范的侵犯。最近对英格兰和威尔士伊斯兰教法适用情况的独立审查特别突出了法律的改革问题。这篇文章使用了阈限性的概念来论证这些关系实际上可能表明了整合的迹象，而不是孤立。在这里，限制意味着从一套文化规范向另一套文化规范过渡的过程，在这个理论框架中，未登记的宗教婚姻代表了从国家承认的婚姻向广泛接受的同居文化规范的过渡。这种新的文化习俗仍然存在于卢森堡。本文借鉴了实证研究，寻求探索“英语叙事”的穆斯林婚姻习俗的关注。焦点小组讨论和话语分析方法被用来探讨婚姻的做法，以确定新出现的规范和认为需要或以其他方式向国家登记婚姻。这些叙述是理解未登记婚姻趋势的关键。本文探讨了本研究中出现的两个关键主题领域，即（i）整合：注册或不注册;（ii）Nikah类别。
Marriages formed by religious ceremonies which are not legally recognized are often cited as synonymous with unregistered Muslim marriages. The conceived illegitimacy of such unions and the need for legal interventions has been raised in political discourse in the UK, as such marriages are deemed to counter women’s rights and wider legal and cultural norms. The recent independent review into the application of sharia law in England and Wales in particular brought the issue of legal reform to the fore. This article uses the concept of liminality to argue that these relationships may in fact indicate signs of integration, not isolation. Liminality is employed here to signify a process of transition from one set of cultural norms to another, and unregistered religious-only marriages in this theoretical framework represent a transition from state recognized unions, towards the widely accepted cultural norm of cohabitation. This new cultural practice remains in flux. This article draws on empirical research seeking to explore ‘English narratives’ where Muslim marriage practices are concerned. Focus group discussions and discourse analysis methodology are utilized to explore marriage practices in order to ascertain emerging norms and the perceived need or otherwise to register marriages with the state. These narratives are key to understanding the trend towards unregistered marriages. This article explores two key thematic areas which emerged in this research, namely, (i) integration: to register or not to register; and (ii) categories of Nikah .
