That article means very little. Umbrella bodies like that do not speak on behalf of everyone, which is why speaking to residents along with them is imperative.
Secondly there is context missing - I've come across this before. In the UK, Muslims have a civil marriage and a religious ceremony, just like in other faiths. The mosques here have adopted a system under UK Law, where they work in conjunction with the local authority so that a religious ceremony is also recognised legally. The reason for this is simple, many people get married and do not legally register it. This in return causes complications regarding local statistics, legal issues of the is a divorce etc. By recognising the religious ceremony and streamlining the process, this actually works in favour of current law and legislation.
Thirdly, every leader / representative says the world would benefit by adopting their way. Richard Dawkins is the greatest at this. I love star wars and I say the world would benefit by accepting the light side of the force. There is nothing important, special or newsworthy about it. It's literally click bait.
