Compliance with marriage investigation scheme

Ravikant Girdhar made this Freedom of Information request to Home Office This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.

We're waiting for Ravikant Girdhar to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear Home Office,

According to the recent law proposed for tackling sham marriages. Individuals under immigration control will have to comply with the Marriage Referral Assessment Unit's marriage investigation.

From my understanding they either
1.) allow the marriage if they believe is genuine
2.) may prove it sham and take enforcement action if required
3.) comply or not complying with investigation.

If someone doesn't comply, home office has the powers to prevent registrars from issuing marriage authority.

How is the compliance with marriage investigation scheme measured and under what grounds can the Secretary of state give a call that an the couple did not comply with the investigation.

Yours faithfully,
Ravikant Girdhar
