Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Im not very well learned, I just know basics. I would like to know if it is permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a christian man first in court then a while after the man will embrace Islam then get married via shariah? I would appreciate if you can explain in depth if possible so that I can relay your message to the parties involved the proper way.

A: The court marriage is a marriage of zina.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
