Court Marriage

Court Marriage Procedure In Pakistan

In Pakistan, court marriage is a formal union between a man and a woman, solemnized by a Nikkah Registrar, who oversees the legal proceedings of the wedlock.

A court marriage usually takes place when one or both parties face obstacles getting permission from elders for their marriage—or other unforeseen circumstances such as the inability to afford festivities prevent them from obtaining a Nikkahnama the traditional way.

The laws of our country have provided free will of marriage to consenting individuals of legal age. Thus, Bohio Law provides right information about court marriage in Pakistan and helps you exercise your rights in a legal way.

Nikkahnama in Court Marriage

The Nikkahnama is a contract of marriage. In court marriage, the Nikkahnama (detailed in the Urdu language) is issued by the local Nikkah Registrar, not by a court magistrate. Since this type of marriage itself is not specifically covered under any ordinance (for any religion), it is solemnized by a licensed lawyer.

Making An Informed Decision

Under the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance of 1961, an individual can marry a person (of his/her opposite sex), and the courts are bound to protect them under this law. Couples often face difficulties in society when choosing to marry of their own free will and choice. At Bohio Law, we make sure that you are informed of your rights regarding the court marriage procedure in Pakistan.

We have made our services open to all. Besides Nikahnama services, we provide access to information and legal assistance with Christian court marriages.

Essential Documents For Court Marriage Procedure In Pakistan

  • The couple should produce a valid NIC (National Identity Card) or NICOP (National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistani)
    • Since the minimum legal age of marriage in Pakistan is the age of puberty that varies from province to province. However, if the couple is not eligible yet for NIC but is eligible for marriage; both of them can produce their B-Form or the Matriculation certificate
