Muslim Marriage

Learn how a Muslim marriage (nikah) is formed and when it is valid, void or irregular. This Law Easy lecture focuses on marriage under Muslim personal law, including offer and acceptance, witnesses, capacity, prohibited relationships and the legal effects of each kind of marriage. The lesson explains the contractual nature of nikah through Abdul Kadir v Salima, the Sunni and Shia differences described in the lecture, mahr (dower), and the bars of consanguinity, affinity and fosterage. It examines temporary impediments such as iddat, a fifth wife and unlawful conjunction. Chand Patel v Bismillah Begum (2008) and Mohammed Salim v Shamsudeen (2019) illustrate irregular marriage and the rights of children. Child marriage and the option of puberty are also addressed in the video. Useful for LL.B. Muslim Law, UGC NET Law, CLAT PG, Judicial Services and law university examinations.
