Muslim Marriage: Dwell in Tranquility With Each Other

Islam, unlike other religions is a strong advocate of marriage. There is no place for celibacy. Muslim marriage is a religious duty and is consequently a moral safeguard as well as a social necessity. Muslim marriage is a social necessity because through marriage, families are established and the family is the fundamental unit of our society. Furthermore, marriage for a Muslim is the only legitimate or ‘halal’ way to indulge in intimacy between a man and a woman.

A Muslim marriage is a contract between two parties, a man and a woman, made in the presence of witnesses as well as the woman’s guardian. It also involves the payment of a dower, the amount of which is agreed between the two parties and become payable by the husband at the time when the contract is made.

A Muslim marriage contract does not need to be written down in order to be valid. But the documentation is important, particularly these days in order to ensure that all future formalities are properly made.

The Muslim marriage process involves an offer of marriage made by the woman’s father or guardian followed by an acceptance made by the man in the presence of two Muslim witnesses. The witnesses may be required to confirm the actual marriage in front of a judge. In order that their testimony be binding on a Muslim party, they must be Muslims.

In Muslim marriage the bride is entitled to receive a dower. The dower, a sum of money, in cash or kind, must be specified as being given by the bridegroom to his bride.
