    This is from the home office website - which you should look at.

    UK Border Agency | How do I get married or register a civil partnership in the United Kingdom?

    If you are planning to get married or register your civil partnership in the United Kingdom and you are subject to immigration control while in the United Kingdom, you may need to apply for a certificate of approval from the Home Office. You should read the page on documents for details of who needs a certificate of approval to marry in the United Kingdom.

    The rules on certificate of approval do not apply to you if you:

    • are a British citizen;
    • are a national of a country in the EEA or the family member of a national of the EEA who has the right of residence in the United Kingdom;
    • have a certificate of entitlement in your passport giving you the right to live in the United Kingdom; or
    • are not subject to immigration control.


    Religious ceremonies
    The rules on certificate of approval do not currently apply if you plan to get married at an Anglican Church in England or Wales, after marriage banns or with a religious licence. You should contact a member of the clergy at the church where you plan to get married for more help. If you plan to marry in any other form of religious ceremony you will need to contact the people who will be conducting the ceremony.

    This is an immigration law question and better suited in this section: Immigration Law - Ask Me Help Desk

    You should get a legal counsel to help you with English immigration laws.
