Frequently Asked Questions
- What is ʿaḍl and when does officiation pass to the judge?
- ʿAḍl is the guardian's refusal to marry the woman to a suitable man without reasonable cause. When established by court ruling, officiation passes to the judge, who marries the woman to a suitable man.
- What are the guardian's justified objection reasons?
- Groom's lack of compatibility (in religion, morals, financial capacity), unreasonably low mahr below the equivalent, harmful marriage, or marriage with Sharia impediments.
- May the mother be a legal guardian?
- No — the mother is not usually a legal marriage guardian. But she may file a ʿaḍl complaint on behalf, her opinion is heard in the family, and she can alert the judge to her daughter's interest.
