Nikah

Re: Nikah

^No my question has nothing to do with post-nikkah situations or intimacy. I am asking about the ghusl which you said is required before Nikkah to purify oneself. As far as I know, your ghusl is not valid if you're on your periods so how can ghusl be required before Nikkah then? You said that it's mandatory for couple to take bath and 'paak' themselves with ghusl before marriage.. but I have never heard of that before.
