Frequently Asked Questions
- How many witnesses are required?

- In Jordanian law, two male witnesses are the standard. Some scholars accept one male and two females, but the general rule in Jordanian practice is two males to avoid disagreement.

- Missing one witness: defective remediable marriage. Missing all witnesses: void marriage with no effects. Witnesses not hearing are counted as absent.
