Billboard man seeks wife

Billboard man seeks wife

A 29-year-old bachelor has advertised himself on a billboard in Birmingham, hoping to find himself a wife.

Mohammad Malik set up his own website 'findmalikawife.com' which has details of his interests, likes and dislikes, as well as telling people why he is on the hunt for a spouse.


A picture of his face has been posted on several billboards in Birmingham and also been shared across social media.

The 20-ft billboard shows a photo of him lying down with a cheeky smile while joking ‘Save me from an arranged marriage’.

Malik, who is originally from London, described the “perfect” partner he is looking for.

His website said, “My ideal partner would be a Muslim woman in her 20s, who's striving to better her deen.

“I'm open to any ethnicity but I've got a loud Punjabi family - so you'd need to keep with the bants. Always personality and faith over anything else!

“P.S I'm an only child and look after my mom and dad. If this is a deal-breaker I don't think it'll work out.’

On arranged marriages, Malik said: “I think arranged marriages have a place and tradition in many Islamic cultures. In fact, there are many studies that show that arranged marriages have many advantages.

“I just want to try and find someone on my own first.”

Civil service pension backlog puts bereaved families at risk of ‘death tax’

  • More than 1,600 bereavement and death-in-service cases were over 100 days old at the end of September.
  • Some pension death-benefit lump sums must be paid within two years of a scheme being notified of a death to qualify for tax-free treatment.
  • The government says compensation may be available if administrative delays cause a tax charge.

Bereaved families waiting for civil service pension payments could face an unexpected tax bill because of delays in processing death benefits, according to reporting by BBC Radio 4’s Money Box.

The issue centers on a two-year deadline for certain pension lump sums. Under HM Revenue and Customs rules, where a person dies before age 75, a lump-sum death benefit is generally tax-free only if it is paid within two years of the pension scheme first becoming aware of the death and the payment falls within the relevant tax allowance.
