Nikkah, often referred to as Islamic marriage, is a pivotal event in a Muslim’s life. It is a religious and legal contract that binds a man and a woman in a holy union. This union is characterized by the exchange of vows and the acceptance of rights and responsibilities, creating the foundation for a family based on love, trust, and mutual respect.
