Question ID 744 - Marriage - 2013-09-20 14:30:01 |
Asalamualaykum,I have a question regarding the validity of my nikah.Two years ago i performed nikah with a muslim brother without informing he's or my parents and i am in doubt of whether the nikah is valid or not.The nikah was performed in order to protect ourselves from sining and doing haram. Both the girls family and boys family have met and are happy with the proposal but the issue was that the boy and my family wish for ua to study and make something of ourselves and also the boy and his family as of yet do not have the means to accomadate me as they are 5 people living in a small 2 bedroom house and so the boys family require good few years before they can consider getting their son married with me. Therefore, we took the step to do right and performed nikah as we know it is important to be halal and we couldn't stop speaking and meeting each other as we fell in love and wanted to be together. The nikah was conducted between us My blood brother who is mature was my wali along with 1 male and 2 female witnesses, in the nikah there was: offer, acceptance,reciting of kalima and dowry from man to woman. It has been two years since we performed this nikah but I am very stressed, we have done everything a husband and wife does and I feel guilty about whether the nikah is legitimate and whether i done haram unknowingly please give me some guidance about whether this nikah is valid. I know my father and mother are happy with the boy but until his parents do not agree to get us married we have to wait thus we undertook nikah to save ourselves during this wait . I would appreciate any advice you can give.Jazak'Allah |

Answer:- Virgin girl needs the approval of her father or paternal grand father for
her marriage. Your elder brother is not enough at all even with any number
of witnesses.
You stop having any sexual act with the man, until your father approves the
Nikah which you have done.
Try to convince him that your intention was just to save yourself from
falling in sinful act.
Wassalam.
