A Muslim Wedding is says to be Nikah in Muslim Language, as it is commonly known it can be held anytime, as there are no beliefs about auspicious timings in Islam. The Nikah is conducted by a Maulvi (Priest). The Maulvi reads selected verses from the Quran and the Nikaah is complete after the Ijab-e-Qubul (Proposal and Acceptance).
In a Muslim marriage, the mutual consent of the bride and groom is of great importance for the marriage to be legal. The ceremony concludes with the marriage contract or the Nikah-nama being signed by the newly weds and the two witnesses.
Also, on the day of the wedding, two families decide the Amount of Mehar that is a compulsory amount of money given by the groom's family to the bride.
Then comes a lavish dinner, after which the couple sit together for the first time. Their heads are covered by a dupatta while they read prayers under the direction of the maulvi (priest). The Quran is placed between the couple and they are allowed to see each only through mirrors.
Post wedding, the groom's family throws a grand reception in the honor of the bride, which is known as Dawat-e- walima.
