What is Non-Legallery Nikah Ceremony Agreement From ARAYA

The Non-Legal Nikah Ceremony Agreement is a documentation system developed by a company to enable Nikah ceremonies, in accordance with Islamic principles, in Thailand. This document helps to separate religious issues from the legal issues of the state and international law, and aims to allow involved parties to conduct a Nikah in accordance with their religious beliefs.

The agreement developed by the company emphasizes the lack of legal implications, to prevent any misunderstandings between the parties involved and to plan for the prevention of any legal impacts on the individuals conducting the Nikah and others. It also reminds the couple to verify that they are in the correct status according to religious principles before entering into the Nikah.

Through this system, the couple can conduct the Nikah according to Islamic principles and lead a Halal marital life, by distinguishing between international law and the universal principles of Islamic morality.

example of Non-Legallery Nikah Ceremony Agreement between the couple from Kuwait and Uzbekistan was conducted at ARAYA in Thailand.
