Traditional marriage costs
In order to organize and conduct a wedding, thousands of rupees are spent. Many of these costs are incurred through borrowing. In consequence, societal norms put a lot of financial pressure on the bride’s family. Therefore, a man cannot find a wife and start a family if he is not financially stable.
Traditional marriages are difficult
Marriage has become so complex in today’s society that many people wait until their mid-thirties before tying the knot. This creates much frustration and unrest among the populace. What followed is an inclination towards immoral activities in order to meet personal needs – physical and emotional. Humans are naturally social beings, meaning we require companionship for a tranquil family life. But society has made marriage incredibly hard, leading to premarital relationships becoming the norm nowadays.
The advantages of court marriages
Pakistan’s court marriage advantages
The following are a few of the major advantages of getting married in court:
According to Pakistani law, court marriages are legal
Performing a court marriage is simple, easy, and inexpensive.
The court can help you get married to the person of your choice.
In Pakistan, couples have the legal right to marry through court or traditional means. The procedure for court marriages is not as complicated as it may seem and is pretty straightforward for young couples of 18. The solemnization of such a union, though generally not done in the actual courtroom, takes place with the help of either a lawyer or Nikah Khawan in their office. In this way, court marriages provide an easier option than traditional ones.
Lawyers assist in a court marriage, which is formally approved by the Nikah Registrar/Magistrate. A Nadra marriage certificate is issued and registered by the Union Council of your locality. The Nikah Nama, also known as a marriage contract, is issued and registered by the local Nikah Registrar. Here it is important to know that registering a marriage is necessary as a non-registered marriage is considered a crime.
Rather than spending a lot of money and time on expensive wedding ceremonies and rituals, you can save money and time.
THE REASONS FOR THE GROWTH OF COURT MARRIAGES IN PAKISTAN
- Court marriages are performed in Pakistan for a variety of reasons. Here are some of them:
- There is no agreement between the parents of the man and the woman about arranging their marriage.
- Due to family pressure, the couple fears they will not be able to live with their loved one.
- A difference in class or culture may prevent a couple from getting married.
- They do not wish to show off to society by having an expensive wedding ceremony.
- Education and the workplace today promote the union of opposite sexes.
- Social transformation has been influenced by modern lifestyles, technology, and media awareness.
- Having a clear understanding of their basic rights gives people the confidence to make their own choices.
A COURT MARRIAGE IN PAKISTAN HAS THE FOLLOWING CONSEQUENCES:
Court marriages may have far-reaching effects, particularly in Pakistan, a predominantly conservative society. Oftentimes, we come across stories of families’ extreme responses to unions of personal choice. These include filing an FIR against the husband and his family alleging kidnapping and adultery charges on behalf of the bride’s family for harassment or to demand divorce. Nevertheless, such cases usually become unfounded once the bride gives her statement under oath.

COURT MARRIAGE: WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Any adult male or female in Pakistan has the right to marry and may solemnize through a court ceremony. According to the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961, in Pakistan, any citizen (man or woman) can marry the opposite sex and the state has a duty to protect and ensure their right to marriage by choice, i.e., by court.
Requirements For Court Marriage?
The following requirements must be met in order to arrange a court wedding in Pakistan:
In accordance with the Child Marriage Restraint Act 1929, child marriage is forbidden. The bride and groom should both be at least 18 years old. A girl’s minimum age for marriage is 16 years old, so that she can receive a basic education.The bride and groom must have their own free will and consent to marry without any pressure or rewards.As per Pakistani law, court marriages must be between opposite sexes, so gay and lesbian marriages are forbidden.
Muslims Court Marriage Procedure
For your court marriage, you must contact us at least 1 day in advance. In Islam, marriage is an important part of a person’s life and for society as a whole. The documents you need for your court marriage can be prepared in advance this way. A court marriage in Pakistan cannot take place if there is any pressure, coherence or compulsion upon either party. Both parties must record their statements before the magistrate and prove their free will and consent.
IN PAKISTAN, CHRISTIAN COURT MARRIAGE PROCEDURE IS AS FOLLOWS:
Court marriage for Christians in Pakistan is similar to court marriage for Muslims or Hindus. The basic requirements of court marriage remain the same. Muslim court marriages differ from Christian court marriages only by the fact that the marriage ceremony is solemnized in front of the Pastor (in Protestantism) or Priest (Publicly referred to as Father) at the church. All other procedures are the same for Christian court marriages.
Please contact our experienced court marriage lawyers today for more information about Christian court marriages in Pakistan and get the best comprehensive guidance absolutely free of charge.

PAKISTAN'S HINDU COURT MARRIAGE PROCEDURE
In Pakistan, the Hindu court marriage process is more or less the same as the Muslim one. Hindu court marriages were not recorded in Pakistan before. According to the Hindu Marriage Act 2017 passed by the National Assembly, Hindu court marriages can now be registered.
Hindu court marriages in Pakistan are valid only if both brides and grooms are at least 18 years old and haven’t been married before. The two parties must also be outside of the prohibited degree of relationship in order to be eligible for a Hindu court marriage. Hindu marriage certificates are known as Shadi Parats. They are registered by a government-appointed marriage registrar.
Nevertheless, if after marriage it is discovered that the above Hindu court marriage criteria were not met before the marriage, the marriage shall be deemed null and void. Moreover, any spouse can file a lawsuit in court to have the marriage annulled if the marriage was created by fraud or force.
YOU WILL RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS AFTER YOUR COURT MARRIAGE
The bride’s original affidavit of free will.
- Your Nikah Nama (Marriage Contract) in two original copies
- NADRA Computerized Marriage Certificate (Additional Fee)
- Marriage in court
