Muslims Weddings
What is a Muslim Wedding?
In Islam, it is considered both a religious duty and a social necessity to get married. Thus there is a great emphasis on the religious and social dimensions of the ceremony, which usually lasts about 1? hours.
The ceremony is generally a well-attended affair, though to make it official, only two male witnesses are required. The wedding always retains a spirit of simplicity, in accordance with the tenets of Islam.

Muslims Weddings
Islam, the worlds second largest religion, after Christianity, was founded by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the seventh century A.D. It is still the leading faith in the Arab world, as well as most of the Middle East. Islam is much more than a religion; it also supplies the guiding principles of political and social life as well.
Muslim Marriages can be conducted in different ways, depending on the culture in which they are arranged. The following information refers, in the most part, to the Asian world. Here, Muslim marriages are generally arranged by the parents, the Bride and Groom themselves have the final say about who they will wed.
The actual proposal comes from the Woman, who contacts the Man through an intermediary ? normally a male relative. After accepting her offer of marriage, the Groom gives the Bride a Mahar (gift). Usually, in the form of money or gold, it is intended as a dowry for her to use as she wishes. The engagement period lasts 3 months, and if the couple aren?t married by the end of this period, the engagement contract needs to be renewed. During this time, the Bride can only be in the same room as her intended if her father or brother is present and she is covered.
Note that Muslims do not do exactly as it is indicated above. Due to their country, traditions there are some regional variations.
Strictly speaking, Muslim Women cannot marry outside their faith. Muslim Men can, in principle, marry non-Muslims, as long as they are Christian or Jewish and their children are raised as Muslims.
Alternatively, it is possible for the Woman to convert to the Muslim faith by performing the Shahada, a simple ceremony in which the convert accepts Allah and Mohammed.
