Question:
Is the testimony of women valid in the marriage contract?
Answer:
No, the testimony of women is only accepted in matters of wealth or what is intended to be wealth. If there are not two men, then it is one man and two women,[An-Nisa 4:29]. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, commanded witnessing in sales; He commanded witnessing [Al-Baqarah 2:282]. This applies to debts and trusts: two male witnesses are required, or one man and two women. This is in wealth and what is intended to be wealth; the testimony of women is accepted in this. Yes.
