Hi Jamie. I'm not sure what you're asking - are you asking if the UK accepts a Sharia marriage (Nikkah ceremony) as a legal marriage? As far as I'm aware, if this takes place in a country that practices Sharia law, then the marriage is legally binding in the UK.

You will need to ask in the relevant place in Malaysia, not too sure that people from the UK will know.
