CAN NIKAH BE DONE DURING PREGNANCY?
If you are wondering if nikah can be done during pregnancy in Islam, there are two situations.
- The first situation is that the female is married and pregnant and wants to do nikah, or court marriage in Pakistan. In this situation, the female cannot do Nikah. The reason is that the female does not just have to be divorced; she should also have finished her iddat period. The iddat period in Islam is 90 days after the divorce. The iddat period should be expired if she wants to do her next marriage or even an online marriage in Pakistan. The Pakistani law for nikah during pregnancy is also the same. The law says that a woman will be considered divorced when she has a divorce certificate in Pakistan. If she doesn’t have a certificate, she cannot do the next marriage.
- The second situation is that the female is not married, but she is pregnant with a person with whom she wants to get married. In this situation, the male and female will both be guilty of Zina, but they can get married. Allah Almighty is the most forgiving. If someone has committed Zina, he or she can repent and do touba. However, they can do nikah with each other. If you are still wondering if nikah can be done during pregnancy, you may contact us for legal advice on the issue of talaq in Pakistan.
