Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the effects of a void marriage?
- It produces no financial rights (mahr, maintenance, inheritance), establishes no lineage (except in shubha cases), and the spouses must separate immediately upon establishing nullity.
- How is a defective marriage remedied?
- By completing the missing element (adding a witness, specifying mahr, registering the contract). After remedy, the marriage produces full effects. Before remedy, separation is required.
- What presumptions indicate validity or nullity?
- Validity requires meeting all five pillars, absence of impediments, full capacity, free consent, and official registration. Nullity arises from a defect in any of these.
