Dear helen,
In Kurdistan, babies are not accepted outside marriage due to cultural and religious issues. If your boyfriend truly loves you and cares about your relationship and he wants to marry you, he can do so by taking you to a mosque and do it in a Islamic way (dont worry you dont need to be a muslim
). That will make life easier for his family back home and i am certain than, they will accept you and the baby just like he was married to a Kurdish girl
.
I am aware that in the past Home office was not allowing failed asylum seekers to marry British citizens but i believe the law has changed in the past six or twelve months as i read an article on BBC several month ago, both of you should talk to a solicitor and learn your options, do not take peoples word!
God forbid, if he ever gets deported , you can always bring him back to the UK under the family reunion visa
. Bear in mind, if he has this baby with you, he has much better chances of getting his passport under humanitarian laws (I am not a lawyer but i know all of this due to my voluntary work at a refuge centre).
Good luck Helen and wish you all the best.
