Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the validity conditions of a marriage contract in Jordan?
- A valid contract requires its pillars — offer and acceptance, the parties’ capacity, the guardian and witnesses — and the absence of legal impediments, under the Personal Status Law.
- Can special clauses be added to the marriage contract?
- Yes. A wife may stipulate lawful conditions in the contract, and they are binding as long as they do not contradict the contract’s essence or the law.
- How is an unregistered marriage proven?
- A claim to prove the marriage is filed before the Sharia court with supporting evidence, and it is officially registered once established.
