British gay Muslims seek Islamic wedding

[Saint Ivuga]

British gay Muslims are joining the global fight for equality and seeking gay Islamic marriage. The BBC's 5 live Investigates speaks to one couple about their 'nikah' - a Muslim matrimonial contract - and asks how they balance their sexuality with the Islamic faith.

"We met about three years ago, at an iftar - a breaking of fast during Ramadan.

"I think a lot of Muslims find that time of year very spiritual and very enlightening, and so I think that's why our relationship developed, because we spoke about our faith."

"Eventually we went on a date."

Asra recalls the first time she met her partner, Sarah, three years ago. The gay couple, who are also Muslim, are one of a growing number of gay, British Muslims who have cemented their relationship with marriage - Islamic marriage.

Hao wanaonekana wameshachoka kuishi. Wanataka kuwatia vidole vya macho wenye dini yao.
Kwa nini wasiende Town Hall ambako hawatakuwa na ugomvi na mtu. Wafunge "pertnership contract" wakale "ze utamu" zao.
