Re: Nikkah is MARRIAGE
Yes. But who really does that and how many?
I think if anythng people take engagement more seriously at times when it is not supposed to be. But those who get nikahfied, do know there is a condition now attached with legal paper involved with witnesses.
Besides, the statement should have been:
Nikaah is a serious business than just engagement.
But to say Nikaah is marriage is a redundant statement.
I also outlined in terms of people considering breaking any relation, at least five different stages one can identify. (In another thread from where this idea came from)
Nikah without rukhsati and nikah with rukhsati have different levels.
Both ARE Nikaah. Both ARE marriage in English.
