Nikkah is MARRIAGE. Get it straight, peeps.

Islamically, when bride and groom says qabool hai in the presence of two witnesses, they immediately become husband and wife.

In desi culture, if nikkah happened, but dulhan is not rukhsatified. they are like unmarried people because husband is not supporting his wife physically, emotionally, and financially.

@Ashy2010

Yeah Nikah is like you have got a driving licence but you don’t own the car yet

Yes Nikah is very much marriage but in our society, it is usually not considered marriage. Like after nikah, the husband should be paying wife’s expenses but I have not seen any instances like that

@KaafHaaYaaAynSaad

After nikah, wife’s responsibility in on the husband, according to Islam.

But, well, each situation is different.

:k:

@pinkyy

Then why don’t people have rukhsati after Nikah!? What’s the point in delaying rukhsati!?

@pinkyy

Yes, but should a girl & guy be stopped from meeting each other once their Nikah is done?

Pinkyy: In a situation like if one spouse in different country, and proof of marriage is required for immigration/visa then most people usually adopt Nikkah to initiate legal process.

Yes, it may possible to stop spouses from meeting and communicating with each other between the period of nikkah and rukhsati. One of the major argument is avoid any further tension/misunderstanding between couple.

I believe moderate communication among families is ok. Let say, guy can speak with her wife’s family and at the same time gal can do same.

I know it is weird to most of you.

^the nikkah is the marriage contract. In the US it is usually performed by a licensed imam who is registered with the state

In Texas, bride and groom are required to get marriage license before 72 hours of nikkah ceremony. Marriage license will last 30 days after issuance and any registered imam/religious leader can conduct ceremony. If you are not able to find any registered imam, then I will suggest you to go any court and perform your civil wedding in the presence of judge.
and then nikkah can be performed by any adult muslim/imam, as you are legally married in the eyes of authorities,.

Read following text, I copied it from local county’ website.
"Licensed or ordained Christian ministers, and priests; Jewish rabbis; persons who are officers of religious organizations and who are duly authorized by the organization to conduct marriage ceremonies; justices of the supreme court, judges of the court of criminal appeals, justices of the court of appeals, judges of the district, county, and probate courts, judges of the county court at law, courts of domestic relations and juvenile courts, retired justices and judges of such courts, justices of the peace, retired justices of the peace, judges of a municipal court and judges and magistrates of the federal courts of this state.
