i’m curious as whose side is normally followed if the girl is a sunni, and the guys dad is a sunni but mother is a shia?
would the nikkah be sunni or shia?
if the girls side request a sunni nikkah is it a tihng to mind or argue?
the guys mother has no issue with girl being a sunni.

Re: what to expect in a mixed sects wedding?

Re: what to expect in a mixed sects wedding?

Re: what to expect in a mixed sects wedding?
What's the difference really? Imam zamans?
Re: what to expect in a mixed sects wedding?
No one here knows the difference?? :P this is disappointing!
Re: what to expect in a mixed sects wedding?
I dont think that there is any fundamental difference. How can it be? Nikah is just eejaab o qubool in presence of 2 witnesses at its basic form. All other dua's and kalimaa's are for extra blessings. I can understand a difference in the second part, but first part must be the same.
Re: what to expect in a mixed sects wedding?

Sunni way is the ryte way

To answer the original question , it depends person to person. There really arent so many differences that people need to make a deal out of it. It's just really labeling. As you can see, many people don't know the difference between a shia and sunni nikah. A nikah IMO is very basic, it is a vow to enter into a marriage contract with witnesses present. Mehr is given to bride by husband. Bus.
My SO is a sunni. I am a shia. The nikah was at my house in my city so we got our own maulvi.
What was an issue and I discovered this later, was the closed mindedness of extended family. I later found out that my MIL's brother came up to me SO at the reception and asked if he was to pray maghrib or maghribain (combine maghrib and issha prayers) at the venue. My FIL bawled him out pretty well for asking something so silly.
Religious views are a personal matter. We are all muslims, we believe in Allah, his Prophet (SAW) and the day of judgement. We all follow the same pillars of Islam. Why get into nitty gritty arguments when there are so many other issues to tackle?
Why argue over for instance how to pray when the real issue should be making sure we each pray regularly as prescribed by Allah?
