Nikah-documenten
Nikah documenten in Canada
In Canada, each province issues marriage licences. An imam registered with the province to perform marriages can hold a nikah that is also a legal marriage, as long as a valid licence is in place.
Who registers the marriage
Provincial vital statistics offices issue licences, often through municipal or licensed issuers, and register the marriage after the officiant submits it.
Typical steps
- 1
Apply for a marriage licence in the province where you will marry.
- 2
Confirm that the imam is registered to perform marriages in that province.
- 3
Hold the nikah with two witnesses and sign the provincial registration forms.
- 4
Order the official marriage certificate once the province has registered the marriage.
Veelvoorkomende items om voor te bereiden
- Government photo ID for both partners
- Birth certificate or passport
- Divorce or death certificate if previously married
- Licence fee, which varies by province
- Two witnesses aged 18 or over
- Nikah contract with the agreed mahr
Belangrijke notities
Licences are usually valid for about three months, and rules on witnesses and waiting periods vary by province. Canadian courts may enforce mahr agreements as contracts, so write the terms clearly.
