How can i do nikah in abu dhabi

To perform a nikah in Abu Dhabi, follow specific legal requirements under Sharia law.

In Abu Dhabi, the nikah ceremony must adhere to Islamic principles and local regulations. Here are the essential steps to conduct a nikah:
– Both parties must be Muslim or the groom must be Muslim with a bride from ‘Ahl Al-Kitaab’ (like Christians).
– Register the marriage contract at a Sharia court in the UAE.
– Ensure both individuals are at least 18 years old; younger individuals need judicial approval.
– Obtain a premarital screening certificate.
– The couple must attend the ceremony along with the bride’s father or his proxy and two male witnesses.
– The bride requires consent from her guardian; if her father is deceased, another male guardian must be present.
– Provide proof of status for divorced or widowed women.
– If applicable, a ‘No Objection’ letter from the embassy is needed if the bride’s father is non-Muslim.
If any party has a serious medical condition, marriage may be denied based on health evaluations.
