Nash Ramji was born in Soroti, Uganda. He arrived in the UK as a refugee at the age of twelve and settled with his parents in Birmingham in the early 1970s. His secondary education was at a comprehensive school there. Following obtaining a law degree from Wolverhampton Polytechnic in the 1980s, he attended The University of Law in Chester. In 1991, he was admitted on the roll of solicitors and has since worked in the legal profession as a solicitor. He settled in Loughborough in 1995. Currently he is a director in a law firm in Leicester.

During his long career, one of his proudest moments, apart from the birth of his two children, was that he served the community as a JP. Being appointed and to serve as a magistrate in 2005 was an absolute honour for him. He sat on many cases in the magistrate’s court, dealing with adult criminal cases. One particular case concerned honour killing. This is where the idea about writing this book came from.

He has two children, Ali and Mariam.
