*. Islamic Marriage:
In Islamic law (sharia), marriage
(zawaj) is a legal bond and social contract between
a man and a woman. Islam considers marriage as a solemn
family relationship between a man and a woman, based
on mercy and love.
*. Marriage Engagement: The
many customs as regards engagement are contrary to
the Sunnah. A verbal proposal answer is sufficient.
*. Mahr : This word is
often translated as “dowry” but is better
expressed as “bridal gift.” Mahr is the
gift that is given by the husband to his wife at wedding.
It can be anything in any amount, as agreed by the
bride & groom.
*. The Nikah Ceremony: Nikah,
or nikkah, is the matrimonial contract between a bride
and bridegroom within Islamic marriage.
Nikah is based on several conditions. When
these conditions are fulfilled, then a man and a woman
are proclaimed as husband and wife and can live together
and carry on their marital duties.
*. Witnesses: Two adult witnesses are required
to verify the marriage contract.
*. The Marriage Khutbah: This is not essential;
the mariage will be legal without it; however, it
is Sunnah to have a Khutbah.
*. Valima (Walima, Dinner):
The public celebration of a marriage usually involves
a wedding party (walimah). Valima is highly recommended
on the groom. The relatives, neighbors and friends
must be invited for Valima. However, lavish spending
is not advisable especially when the same money can
be used effectively by the couple.
*. Marriage Frist Night:
It is highly recommended that the wedding should take
place at night. The hadith says, "Take the bride
to her new home during the night."
Is it necessary to have sexual
intercourse on the very first night after the wedding
or can it be delayed? As far as the Shariah
is concerned, it is neither obligatory nor forbidden
to have sex on the first night. It is a private decision
between the newly wed couple; it has nothing to do
with others.
*. Married Life: After all the parties are
over, the new couple settles into life as husband
and wife. In Islam, the marriage relationship is characterized
by safety, comfort, love, and mutual rights and responsibilities.
