Ummah · **Urgent Question: about Aqd-Nikkah -** 01-27-2008

Asalaamualaikum

as far as i am aware aqd-nikkah is the written marriage contract which is signed by the bride and groom on the nikkah after they have exchanged the marriage vows..

please please please answer the following question for me if you can!!

1. Considering an attorney/legal guardian (wakil) can stand-in as the bride's representative on the nikkah, does this mean that the wakil also signs the aqd-nikkah, thus the actual bride's signature never appears on the aqd-nikkah?

2. Is an written contract necessary? is it possible to conduct a nikkah ceremony without any involvement of the written contract, i.e. purely oral?

PLEASE HELP ME this is extremely important for me to know

jazakhAllah
