📜 THE DOCUMENT

What is a Nikah Nama?

The Nikah Nama (نکاح نامہ) is the official Islamic marriage contract in Pakistan. Specifically, it is a legally binding document. Furthermore, it records the terms of a marriage under Islamic law (Shariah) and Pakistani civil law.

It contains all key details of the marriage. For example, it records the names of the bride and groom. Moreover, it states the Mahr (dower) amount, witnesses, and date. Therefore, it is the primary document required by embassies for Spouse Visa applications.

❓ COMMON QUESTIONS

Nikah Nama FAQs

Q. What is the difference between Nikah Nama and Marriage Certificate?
The Nikah Nama is the original Islamic marriage contract. Specifically, it is an Urdu document following Shariah law, registered by a Qazi. Conversely, the Marriage Certificate is a NADRA-issued computerized verification. Therefore, embassies usually require both for visa applications. Learn more about our Marriage Certificate service →
Q. My Nikah was done 10 years ago but never registered — can I still get it?
Yes, absolutely. Late registration of Nikah is very common among overseas Pakistanis. Specifically, we prepare a declaration/affidavit explaining the delay. Furthermore, we gather witness statements and file with the Union Council. Thus, we handle this routinely, even for decades-old Nikahs.
Q. How long does Nikah Nama registration take?
48-72 hours for Union Council registration and NADRA copy. Subsequently, Foreign Office attestation takes 3-5 additional working days. Moreover, certified English translation takes 1-2 working days. Finally, DHL delivery takes 3-7 business days. Therefore, the total process takes 10-14 working days.
Q. Do I need to come to Pakistan to register my Nikah Nama?
No. We handle the entire process remotely. Specifically, you send scanned documents via WhatsApp. Consequently, we manage all filings, attestations, and translations in Pakistan. Thus, we courier the originals to your address abroad.
Q. Can I specify conditions in the Nikah Nama — like the right of divorce for the wife?
Yes. Pakistani law and Islamic jurisprudence allow various conditions in the Nikah Nama. For example, you can include delegated right of divorce (Talaq-e-Tafwid) and polygamy restrictions. Therefore, we advise on which conditions are legally valid. Furthermore, we draft them correctly to ensure enforceability.
Q. Is a Nikah done via video call (Online Nikah) valid in Pakistan?
Yes, under certain conditions. An Online Nikah is valid if proper Ijab-o-Qubool is witnessed by two Muslim witnesses. Furthermore, a licensed Qazi must conduct it. Consequently, we provide complete Online Nikah services. See our Online Nikah page →
