On 9 May 2011, the UK Certificate of Approval Scheme will be abolished (subject to parliamentary approval).
The Certificate of Approval Scheme was set up a few years ago with the aim of requiring non EEA nationals to obtain permission before being allowed to marry in the UK.
The Scheme has been heavily criticised by the courts as being incompatible with Human Rights law.
The government has pledged to continue its enforcement of immigration law in relation to sham marriages. The UK Border Agency has stated it will;
"continue to investigate suspected abuse and, where possible, disrupt marriages before they take place. If we uncover marriages that are not genuine, we will challenge them and prosecute where possible."
