Muslim Marriage
In many Muslim
marriages, the wife may not be present when the actual contract is made.
However, her father or guardian comes to her with two witnesses and asks
her whether she gives him the [verbal] power of attorney [in presence of
the two witnesses] to act for her in marrying her to the man concerned
and whether she agrees to the amount of dower to be paid to her. When
she has given him the power of attorney, he proceeds to complete the
marriage contract.
An offer of marriage is made by the woman's father or guardian.
Secondly, an acceptance made by the man in the presence of two Muslim
witnesses. The witnesses may be required to confirm the actual marriage
in front of a judge. In order that their testimony be binding on a
Muslim party, they must be Muslims.The bride is entitled to receive a
dower. The dower, a sum of money, in cash or kind, must be specified as
being given by the bridegroom to his bride.
