Rehana Kausar and Sobia Kamar are the first Muslim women to marry in the UK.
They were listed number 17 in the Pink List 2013. The citation said:
- "The Pakistani couple were the first Muslim women to marry in the UK, when they took part in a civil ceremony in a Leeds registry office earlier this year. It’s believed they received death threats both here and from Pakistan, where homosexual relations are illegal. They have both since applied for asylum."[1]
