Re: Western Girls Marrying and Living in Pakistan
What if she was already a U.S. citizen? Would she still need to have it translated/attested/stamped in order to prove she's married so that she's entitled to her rights in America? I would think so. Seems like such a hassle. If it were possible, it would make sense to just do the nikkah in the west and the rest in Pakistan.
Is it possible to have two nikkah's done? One in the West and then again in Pakistan? I'm talking about cases where a person is insisting on doing it in Pakistan and the other person wants it done in their home country in the west.
My friend was married in Pakistan and then moved to England with her husband. They didn't register their marriage in England though, so when they got divorced a few months later, she was left with very few rights cause there was no proof of the marriage other than the photos and the urdu nikkah papers. The guy was a fraud though, different and long story.
