Validity of nikaah if one did not receive a nikaah certificate
Question
I got married a year ago. Nikaah and everything took place but I never sign the certificate or recieve a certificate saying that I'm married. Am I married and how do I go about for faskh if I don't have a certificate?
Answer
If the nikaah was done with witnesses and the right procedure the nikaah is valid. Signing and writing is not a condition for the nikaah being valid.
You may contact an ulama body. They will study your case and thereafter guide you correctly.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
