marriage, dower amount, special terms and conditions, information about
existing wife and children of bridegroom (if already married), names,
signatures and seals of Nikah Khuwan and Nikah Registrar and signatures/thumb
impressions of the parties and witnesses. This manual marriage certificate
is caused to be registered by Nikah Registrar in concerned Union Council or
Cantonment Board.
Nikah Khuwan (the person performing the
marriage ceremony) and the Nikah Registrar (the person responsible for
registering the marriage) may and may not be the same persons. If Nikah Khuwan
is holding license of Nikah registration, he can act in both capacity as
Nikah Khuwan as well as Nikah Registrar. |

second document of marriage, can be obtained from concerned Union Council or
Cantonment Board etc on the basis of already issued manual marriage certificate. A computerized marriage certificate does not contain
detailed information like a manual marriage certificate contains, however
