Just to clear up a couple of points ......even if you a divorce thru the 'mosque' you would still be legally married under English law and a civil divorce would still be required thru an English law court .( Do the Imans in a mosque have the same legal powers as a Priest or a Vicar) he is licensed under English law, (various marriage acts going back to HenryVIII) to perfom marriages, otherwise a registrar office wedding is also required,
A bit like what the Catholics used to have , they could get an anullment from Rome saying their marriage was no longer valid in the eyes of the Church but a decree from an English court was also required otherwise either party who re-married were guilty of bigamy .
