If you have a blank Nikah Nama form and need help filling it out correctly, this guide will walk you through the process.

1. Understanding the Nikah Nama

The Nikah Nama typically includes:

• Personal details of the bride and groom
• Consent declarations (Ijab-o-Qubool)
• Mahr (dower) details
• Witnesses’ information
• Terms and conditions (if any)
• Signatures and official registration

2. Step-by-Step Filling Process

A. Bride and Groom’s Details

Fill in the following information:

• Full names (as per national ID)
• Father’s/Husband’s name (for bride, usually father’s name)
• Age and date of birth
• Addresses (current and permanent)
• CNIC/NIC/copyright numbers (for legal validity)

B. Mahr (Dower) Details

• Prompt Mahr (Mu’ajjal) – Amount payable immediately.
• Deferred Mahr (Mu’wajjal) – Amount payable later (e.g., in case of divorce or death).
• Specify currency (e.g., PKR, USD, gold equivalent).

C. Consent of the Bride & Groom (Ijab-o-Qubool)

• The Wali (guardian) or bride must verbally accept the proposal.
• The groom must verbally accept the marriage.
• This is recorded in the Nikah Nama as:
  • "I, [Groom’s Name], accept [Bride’s Name] as my wife with the agreed Mahr."
  • "I, [Bride’s Name/Wali’s Name], give myself/[Bride’s Name] in marriage to [Groom’s Name]."

D. Witnesses’ Information

• Two adult Muslim male witnesses (or according to your school of thought).
• Their full names, father’s names, addresses, and CNIC numbers must be written.

E. Terms & Conditions (Optional but Recommended)

• Any special conditions (e.g., wife’s right to work, divorce clauses).
• Must be agreed upon by both parties before signing.

F. Signatures & Registration

• Bride, groom, Wali, and witnesses must sign.
• Nikah Registrar (Qazi/Maulvi) signs and stamps for legal validity.
• Court/Union Council registration (if required by law).

3. Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Incomplete personal details (CNIC, addresses missing).
❌ Unclear Mahr amount (must be specified in numbers & words).
❌ Missing witness details (invalidates Nikah in some cases).
❌ No Wali consent (required in most Sunni schools).

4. Legal Validity & Next Steps

• For Sharia compliance, the Nikah is valid once signed by witnesses.
• For legal recognition, submit to the local marriage registrar (e.g., Union Council in Pakistan, Court in India).
• Keep multiple copies (for bride, groom, and records).
