Nikah

Nikah is a formal Islamic marriage contract that unites a man and woman through mutual consent, typically involving a declaration and a mandatory dowry (mahr) from the groom to the bride. It signifies a sacred partnership rooted in love, compassion, and mutual support, establishing legal and spiritual responsibilities. The process often includes witnessing by two adults and adherence to specific Islamic guidelines. Nikah is both a social union and a spiritual covenant, emphasizing commitment, morality, and the fulfillment of rights and responsibilities within the marriage.
