Hi! I have a question
Hello! It seems you're interested in Muslim marriage procedures without the presence of parents. Could you please specify your location so I can provide accurate information?
I'm in Texas Garland
In Texas, you don't need parental presence to get married. Two consenting adults (*+) can marry. You'll need:
- A valid ID
- Marriage License from County Clerk's Office
- Officiant to perform the ceremony.
This doesn't cover Islamic requirements, consult an Imam for that.
But Muslim traditions need parents to get married
Islamic traditions can vary. In Texas, legally, parents aren't required for marriage. However, in Islam, a Wali (guardian) is usually involved. It's best to consult an Imam for accurate information on this matter.
Can you get married through a imam and not parents in Islam?
Yes, in Islam, an Imam can officiate the marriage without the presence of parents. However, traditionally, a Wali (guardian) is involved. It's advisable to consult with a local Imam for specific guidance.
