Question:
Is customary marriage permissible, he asks?
Answer:
If its conditions and pillars are fulfilled, it is permissible. The discussion concerns the completion of the conditions: it must be with a guardian, where the guardian of the woman is the one who contracts the marriage, and it must be with her consent. It must be with an offer and acceptance: an offer from the guardian and acceptance from the husband. That is, he says, "I give you in marriage," and he says, "I accept." This must be with the mutual consent of the two spouses for each other, and it must be in the presence of two witnesses. If these conditions are met, the contract is valid. As for having it registered in government offices or courts by presenting a document, that is a separate matter. The contract itself is valid if its conditions are met; it is valid. Yes.
