  • Accepting that there is a problem early on, and wanting to work on it, can assist to overcome challenges and ease matters.
  • We can help you connect online and seek advice, guidance or simply to have that trustworthy person to discuss personal or other matters.

Book a Civil & Islamic Marriage

What I need to know before booking an Islamic & Civil marriage

1. Notice one month prior: this is in accordance with Australian law and requires an intended marriage notice form to be filled out with the Sheikh, one month prior to the ceremony. The form can be downloaded 2. Age: The couple intending to marry must be over 18 years of age. 3. Identification: Driver’s license and valid passport (photo ID) or birth certificate. Note: the above valid ID is also applicable for overseas clients. In the absence of these valid forms of identification, a statutory declaration detailing the inability to provide acceptable documents, may be provided as a substitute. 4. Divorce certification: If previously legally married, must provide legal divorce papers and a divorce certificate 5. Death certification: In the case of either party being a widow – must provide legal death papers. 6. Agreements: Dowry and other matters. Note: The dowry and other matters will be discussed prior to the ceremony date involving the bride and groom, their parents and the Sheikh. 7. Witnesses: Minimum of two witnesses must be present, preferably fathers of both parties.

Note: For the Islamic contract to go forward, two witnesses must be present. They must fit the following criteria:

  1. Muslim male
  2. Over the age of puberty

However, if you want non-Muslim, male or female witnesses (over 18), this is only valid for the civil marriage part. If you choose this then, to ensure your Islamic contract is valid, the above criteria must also be fulfilled, meaning, a total of four witnesses may be present (two non-Muslims, male or female, over 18 AND two Muslim males, over the age of puberty). 8. Wali (Power of attorney): In Islamic teachings the ‘wali’ is the representative or guardian of a woman presenting for marriage. Seeing as in Islam, it is not permissible for a woman to appoint herself a wali or give herself away in marriage, she must appoint a wali to do so. The following order is how a wali must be chosen:

    1. Father
    2. Representative authorised by her father (also known as a ‘wakeel’)
  • Paternal grandfather
  • In the absence of the above, the Sheikh would do so

9. Other documentation: Will be completed on the day of the ceremony to be signed by the couple and the witnesses as well as the Sheikh
