Nikah is a marriage contract in Islam that legally and religiously unites a man and a woman according to Sharia (Islamic law). It involves the consent of both parties, witnesses, and the groom giving the bride a 'Mahr' (a mandatory gift), making the relationship legitimate and sacred. Key aspects of Nikah: Contract: It is considered a legal agreement rather than a sacrament, defining the rights and responsibilities of the husband and wife. Consent: Both the groom and the bride must willingly declare their acceptance ("I accept"). Witnesses: Two Muslim witnesses are required for the Nikah, who attest to the contract. Mahr: The groom gives his bride a specified amount of money or property, which is her exclusive right.
