Respecting the Laws of the Country in Which You Live
Praise be to Allah عزّ وجلّ, peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammed صلَّى الله عليه وسل
Muslim marriage is a contract and, as such, it may be subject to the laws of the country in which you live.
NikahContract.com enables you to obtain a Muslim marriage contract that is valid on all points from an Islamic point of view.
It may be necessary for you to comply with human laws, in other words, the laws of the country in which you live.
One of the most commonly required formalities is to have your marriage contract recorded if you are in a Muslim country or to enter into a civil marriage if you are in a country with another religious tradition. |
This step may or may not be mandatory.
There is a great deal of variety in legal approaches to marriage.
Each region, each country, and each culture has its own view of marriage and established laws or regulations on marriage.
It is very important to know the laws of your country of residence regarding your marital status. |
You can get help by contacting, for example, administrators responsible for the matter or specialized organizations, or by referring to official websites.
Questions such as these may be important to you:
For example:
- Do authorities recognize unrecorded Muslim marriages?
- Is there spousal support?

- Is a civil ceremony required before a religious ceremony?
- How do civil ceremonies work?

We advise you to comply completely with the laws of the country in which you live if you want to avoid serious consequences for you, your spouse and also sometimes your family overall. |
It is essential to your future and that of your family that you be well informed of the laws that govern marriage in the country where you reside.
You must be fully informed about the situation of your marriage in order to make the best choices for you as an individual and as a couple.
And Allah عزّ وجلّ knows best
