BEST QUALITY AVAILABLE Undated Home Office handout photo of Zubair Khan who has been jailed for his part in a sham wedding. PRESS ASSOCIATION Photo. Issue date: Friday February 13, 2015. A fake wedding couple have been jailed for immigration offences after the groom had to ask his wife-to-be's name. The Home Office said Pakistani Khan, 28, and Hungarian Beata Szilagyi, 33, were arrested in Hull minutes before their bogus ceremony in October. As the couple tried to use the scam to enable Khan to stay in the UK, Khan had to make a telephone call to marriage fixer Khaliq Dad Khan to ask his bride's name during a meeting with the registrar before the ceremony. Home Office investigators were alerted by the registrar and arrested the pair at Hull Register Office. Khan and Szilagyi were sentenced to 20 months and 17 months respectively at Hull Crown Court, the spokesman confirmed. Khaliq Dad Khan was jailed for 20 months after pleading guilty to the same charge. He was also arrested at the register office on October 9, last year. See PA story COURTS Sham.
