Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between virgin and non-virgin in marrying without a guardian?
- A virgin requires a guardian by law; marriage without one is void or defective. A non-virgin (divorcée, widow) may marry herself per jurisprudence, with wider discretion.
- How can a woman legally marry without a guardian?
- By filing a ʿaḍl case at the Sharia Court, stating the guardian's refusal reasons, submitting evidence of the suitable groom, hearing the parties, and a ruling transferring guardianship to the judge who marries the woman.
- What are unjustified refusal reasons (ʿaḍl)?
- Personal disputes, exaggerated financial demands, unjustified social differences, refusal without reason, or racial revenge. These do not justify refusal and allow judicial intervention.
