The Nikah contract holds immense significance in Islam, with the responsibilities and rights of the bride and groom. While Nikah ceremonies typically occur with both individuals physically present, certain situations may necessitate an online Nikah presence.
Online Nikah in Pakistan, sometimes referred to as proxy marriage, occurs when either the bride or groom is unable to be physically present at the same time and place. This online Nikah can take place via video call or, in some cases, through a phone call, with the ceremony overseen by the marriage registrar, also known as the Nikah Khawan.
We know how important it is for your online marriage journey to be simple and problem-free. That’s why our team of legal experts is here to make sure your online Nikah experience in Pakistan is smooth and secure.

Online Nikah is a modern approach to getting married in Pakistan, where using our online nikah service couples can complete the marriage process through digital platforms through online marriage in Pakistan. It eliminates the need for physical presence in a traditional setting, offering convenience and accessibility to couples regardless of their location.
For an online Nikah, it’s not necessary for both spouses to be Pakistani citizens. If one of them is a citizen of Pakistan, they can still register their online marriage.
Thanks to specific clauses in Pakistan’s marriage laws and Sharia (Hanafi School of Thought), now individuals can conduct their Nikah online by appointing a lawyer to oversee the process. In some Middle Eastern countries like the U.A.E., Saudi Arabia, Oman, Iraq, etc., females aren’t allowed to perform Nikah without a Wali. However, Pakistani marriage laws don’t have such a requirement. Therefore, according to Hanafi belief, no Wali is needed for Nikah.
A unique provision has been added to the Pakistani Urdu Nikah Nama, allowing couples to appoint lawyers or representatives to conduct their online Nikah.
Pakistanis residing abroad or foreigners who want to register their online Nikah in Pakistan can reach out to us. Afterwards, the lawyer will handle and process all the Nikah paperwork on their behalf.
