I want to do nikah in sharjah

To perform a nikah in Sharjah, follow the Sharia law provisions.

In Sharjah, Islamic marriages (nikah) are governed by Sharia law, which applies to both Muslim couples and mixed faith partnerships where the bride is from ‘Ahl Al-Kitaab’, such as Christians. Key requirements include registering the marriage contract at a Sharia court, obtaining a premarital screening certificate, and ensuring the attendance of witnesses. A guardian’s consent is mandatory for brides. Additionally, polygamy is permitted under UAE law for Muslim men, provided they can ensure equal treatment among wives.

Key legal requirements:
– Register marriage in a Sharia court.
– Minimum age is 18 Hijri years; judge’s approval needed if younger.
– Spouses’ age difference must not exceed double; otherwise, seek judge’s approval.
– Provide premarital screening certificate.
– Attendance of bride’s father or proxy and two male Muslim witnesses required.
– Consent from the bride’s guardian is necessary; if deceased, the closest male relative must be present.
