In Nigeria, many Muslim couples marry under Islamic law with the wali, witnesses, and mahr. Statutory marriage under the Marriage Act is a separate registry process, so couples often get a certificate from their local government or a Sharia court as proof.

Who registers the marriage

Islamic marriages are commonly documented by local government marriage registries or by Sharia courts in northern states. Statutory marriages are registered at marriage registries.

Typical steps

  1. 1

    The families meet and agree the sadaki (mahr) and the date of the nikah.

  2. 2

    Hold the nikah with the bride's wali, two witnesses, and an imam.

  3. 3

    Get a marriage certificate from the local government registry or a Sharia court.

  4. 4

    Keep the certificate safe — you will need it for travel, visas, and name changes.

  • Passport photos
  • Letter from the officiating imam or mosque
  • IDs of the wali and two witnesses
  • Divorce or death certificate if previously married
