Islamic marriage contract

An Islamic marriage contract, known as "Nikah," is a legal and spiritual agreement between a man and a woman that establishes their marital relationship. It involves mutual consent, the proposal, and the acceptance, often accompanied by a dowry ("Mahr") from the groom to the bride. The contract sets the rights and responsibilities of both parties, including matters like financial support and respectful conduct. It may be formalized through a traditional ceremony and must adhere to Islamic principles. This contract serves as a foundation for a committed, harmonious marriage rooted in faith and mutual agreement.
