Marriage
Outline the basic elements of an Islamic wedding ceremony?
Marrige is a solemn and sacered, social contract between bride and groom. This contract is a strong covenant. The marriage contract is a mutual agreement that both the bride and groom agree on and follow. The gift of Marh is a divine injuntction. the giving of mahr to the bride from the groom is an essential part of the contract.Mahr is a token commitment of the husband's responsibility and may be paid in cash, property or movable objects to the bride herself. The amount of mahr is not legally specified, however, moderation according to the existing social norm is recommended. The mahr may be paid immediately to the bride at the time of marriage, or deferred to a later date, or a combination of both. The deferred mahr however, falls due in case of death or divorce.
