Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is one witness sufficient for the marriage contract to be valid?

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. For the validity of the marriage contract, it is required that there be a guardian (wali) for the woman, and that there be two witnesses. Two witnesses are necessary, and one witness is not sufficient.
