Please let me know if she needs any documents from her own country i.e. Algeria, so we don’t face any hindrance in registration later on. Thank you.

  7. Alsalam alaykom ,
    I am non pakistani citizen i got nikah With all islamic conditions mehr and witnesses but the lawyer ask me to give the divorce permission unconditionally to the pride and he claims its mandatory for nikah nama procedures because I am not pakistani . The other thing is he ask for full authentication to represent me in legal authorities , I’m afraid he will use it for signing a declaration on my behalf, i need help to know is it real or he tried to scam me.

    1. No it’s not like this. You can issue special power of attorney in which you empowered him about registration for marriage. And rest of divorce its not important to give divorce permission unconditionally you can ask any conditions for divorce.

  11. Hi,

    Can two foreigners get married in Pakistan?
    I am from sri lanka and my partner lives in uk. We wish to get married in Pakistan. Is it possible us to get married there??

      1. i have verbally converted to islam but i dont have any documents or certificate for that, in Germany religion is not mentioned on our id cards and passports therefore what documents are needed if i come to Pakistan and marry a Pakistani Muslim woman ? will Pakistani government want me to change my first and last name completely or i can keep my old name? what list of documents will be needed to officially marry in Pakistan

  12. Aslam Alekum
    Can a muslim pakistani girl being a government employee marry a foreigner guy already converted to Islam, in pakistan without any risk to her job & nationality ?

    1. For government employees who wish to marry with foreigner need permission from his/her department. But many government employees got marriage without permission from their department.

  13. I am asking if she doesn’t seek permission, is it against law & her job is at risk ?
    Or if she asks for permission would they allow ? Is it possible in our country law ?

    Because i came to know according to Act 1951, a pakistani government employee can only marry an Indian national after seeking permission from government/court.

      1. Sorry its 1962 & i was talking about this

        Marriage or promise of marriage with foreign national[s] (except Indian) to be considered ‘Misconduct’.- Attention is invited to the Government Servants (Marriage with Foreign Nationals) Rules 1962, whereunder marriage or promise of marriage with foreign national except those of India, by any Government servant is not permitted and contravention of these rules is considered as misconduct rendering the Government servants found guilty, liable to be removed from service. Marriage or promise thereof with the citizens of India is possible only with prior permission of the Government (ibid., Sec. 146).

        Kindly guide about this !

  37. Hello. My husband is a revert to Islam. He reverted some time before our marriage but for their own satisfaction, my father and brother had him perform the shahada again so they could witness it themselves. We were married in a foreign country under civil marriage law and the marriage officiator was a court officer. Our marriage certificate states our religion as Muslim for groom and Muslim for bride and both witnesses of our wedding were adult male Muslims. My husband never obtained a conversion certificate as it is not required by religion or by law and our belief is that there is no intermediary party between Allah and the believer. Given what I have described to you, is our marriage legal under Pakistani law?

    I am a British woman wanting to get married to a Pakistani man who has one wife. Wife does not live with him -left years ago and is with her brother.
    He has not divorced because of one daughter they have who lives with him and his mother.
    He wants to marry me with his first wife’s permission. However would the marriage be recognised in UK ? I am planning to visit Pakistan in November so we will get married there.
    Wondered if any of you have any idea -in UK it says oversees marriages will be recognised if they are done in accordance with the laws of that country-Pakistan for instance But then in other articles it is said that UK does not allow polygamous marriages.
    Very confusing.
    Many thanks
