IQRARNAMA
1. The bride and the groom shall give their express and unambiguous consent for the marriage contract to become valid. This consent must have been obtained without undue influence, coercion and fraud.
2. The age of the bride shall be 18 years and that of the groom 21 years.
3. Mehr
• Since mehr is the right of the bride at the time of nikaah, the amount has to be paid at the time of the solemnization of the nikaah. The groom has agreed to pay the mentioned amount at the time of nikaah.
• Minimum mehr of the bride is one annual income of the groom
• The bridegroom undertakes through this Nikaahnama that he or his relatives or any one on his behalf, shall not in any manner apply any physical, social, emotional, psychological, or economic pressure on the bride to forego the Mehr or to decrease the Mehr amount.
• Mehr is non-refundable and non-negotiable and shall be the absolute property of the bride and under her exclusive control and power.
4. The husband shall not be entitled to and shall not enter into a second marriage during the subsistence of this first marriage as monogamy is the stated ideal in the Quran.
5. The bride and the groom are not within the degrees of prohibited relationship
6. The said solemnised marriage must be registered under the relevant state Act.
Divorce
• The bride and bridegroom agree that in case of marital discord neither party has the right to terminate the marriage unilaterally.
• The husband shall not resort to, under any circumstances, unilateral oral triple divorce in one sitting. The right to divorce is shared equally by both the bride and the groom in keeping with the spirit of justice in Islam.
• If matrimonial discord occurs, then the parties shall follow the method given below. No dissolution shall take place while the arbitration process is ongoing and until it is finally concluded.
7. Procedure of Dissolution Of Marriage
Dissolution of marriage proceedings, by whatever name called, initiated by either or both the parties to a marriage without the intervention of a court, to be concluded through the following procedure only:-
STEP 1
As a first step, when there is a marital discord, the husband/ wife will reason out with each other through discussions.
STEP 2
If differences persist, then as a next step, the parties sexually distance themselves from each other in the hope that this temporary physical separation may encourage them to unite.
STEP 3
And if even this fails, they will once again discuss the seriousness of the situation and try to bring about reconciliation.
STEP 4
If the dispute still remains unresolved, as a fourth step, the parties to the dispute must place their matter before two arbiters nominated by the family, one from the family of each spouse, for resolution. The family Arbitrators can also approach Arbitrators of a registered organization for the resolution of their marital discord.
1. It is only after the failure of the aforementioned four attempts at reconciliation that the first talaq is to be declared by the Arbitrators in the presence of two witnesses and both the parties. This declaration of divorce is to be followed by a waiting period called the iddah. Not more than two divorces can be pronounced within this period, the duration of which is three monthly courses
2. For women who have attained menopause or suffer from amenorrhea the period of iddah is three months, and in the case of pregnant women it is till the termination of pregnancy
3. And if the parties are unable to unite during iddah, the second and the final irrevocable talaq can be pronounced by the Arbitrators but only after the expiry of the iddah. Once the second and the final talaq has been invoked the marital bond is severed and the parties cease to be of any relation to each other.
4. However, even after iddah has lapsed and before the pronouncement of the second and final talaak by the Arbitrators, the contending parties have a chance to reunite by recontracting the marriage, provided the final talaq has not been declared.
5. In other words, after the expiry of iddah, the parties are given the options of remarriage or permanent separation.
6. All decisions taken before the witnesses and Arbitrators must be recorded. The final divorce at the end of iddah must also be recorded in a Talaaknama by the Arbitrators.
7. The rights of the women on divorce must be safeguarded by the Arbitrators and must be mentioned in the talaaknama.
Original copies of the same must be provided to both the parties.
NOTE:
• The pronouncement of final talaak should be during the period of tuhr
• The four steps mentioned above signify restitution of conjugal rights
• The parties can also approach the Indian courts directly for the dissolution of their marriage
• Before making the second and final pronouncement of marriage, the Arbitrators must ensure that all matters related to dower and maintenance of the woman as well as inheritance, custody, education of children, have been amicably and fairly settled.
• Once the second and final pronouncement of dissolution of marriage has been made, the parties are no longer married to each other.
8. In the event of divorce initiated by either party the husband shall be bound to comply with the following financial rights of the wife.
• Mehr (if not paid)
• Gifts received by her at the time of and during the subsistence of the marriage.
• Right to reside in the matrimonial home.
• Equal share of all property acquired during subsistence of the marriage.
• A reasonable and fair provision (mata) for the future sustenance
9. Either party can go to the court directly to settle their dispute. The bride and bridegroom undertake to follow these terms and conditions and respect each other from this day on.
10. The bride and the bridegroom may insert any other provision provided it does not violate the provisions of this Nikaahnama.
The bride and the groom agree to the above conditions of the marriage.
