Jokingly getting married
Question
Does a nikah done as a joke (just for the sake of fun) in a friends gathering without the presence of the wali, become valid?
Is it valid when the girl says yes just because of peer pressure of acceptance in a group and without having the knowledge of the sensitivity of this subject/issue of nikah.
Answer
If all the preconditions of nikaah are met the nikaah is valid.
As above.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
