For the first time in its 600 year history, the Lincoln’s Inn just hosted a traditional Pakistani wedding.
This British-Pakistani couple is not only the first Pakistani wedding to be hosted at the honorable society of Lincoln’s Inn, but also the first Muslim wedding.
Burhan Faisal and Kiran Younis’ wedding is the first traditional Pakistani ceremony to take place at Lincoln’s Inn. The couple was allowed to organize a ceremony with all the Pakistani customs.
About the Venue
The 150 guests in attendance were served ‘Zam Zam’ water and dates. While the Great Hall echoed with the sound of live recitation of the Holy Quran before the ceremony.
Did you know that Lincoln’s Inn also happens to be the alma mater of Mohammad Ali Jinnah?

Lincoln’s Inn, a Wedding Venue?
Lincoln’s Inn has been used as an event venue before. The reason Burhan Faisal and Kiran Younis held their special day at the historic venue was for a special reason.
Burhan is the third generation of his family to be published as a barrister by the society of Lincoln’s Inn.
In 1970 his grandfather Chaudhry Arshad Ali was published by the Inn. Currently Arshad practices as an advocate in the Supreme Court Pakistan. Then in 2002 Burhan’s mother, Zill-e-Huma was also published as a barrister by Lincoln’s Inn.
That is why they selected this as the wedding venue. Holding a traditional Pakistani ceremony at Lincoln’s Inn is nothing short of a dream come true for this family of jurists.
Lincoln’s Inn is also an institution that recognizes the Muslim Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) as one of ‘the greatest lawgivers’
“What is significant for Muslims and especially Pakistanis is that The Inn recognises Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) as one of the greatest law givers to human kind. There has always been a genuine appreciation of Islam by the honorable society of Lincoln’s Inn.”
