'Pakistani girls take lead to marrying each other in Leeds'

Asian Echo, Pakistani girls take lead to marrying each other in Leeds, 14 May 2013 "Speaking to Geo News after the news was aired, British Pakistani religious scholars from various Muslims denominations objected and said that Islam, like other religions, only recognises marriage and partnership between a man and woman and all other forms of union are not recognised in the religion. They however said that this country allows people choices they make about their life and that’s understandable."
