Nikah Process Explained
The nikah process is the heart of Muslim marriage: a clear offer and acceptance, with required parties and mahr, witnessed and documented.
Core process
Agree terms including mahr. Gather wali (as required), bride, groom, and witnesses. Conduct ijab and qabul before the officiant. Sign nikah nama / documentation. Complete civil steps as advised locally.
