Assalam o Alaikum, Question: I am in love with a girl for 6 years. She also loves me. Both of us want to marry each other but her father always refuses without giving any reason. Presently he wants to break our relationship but we have decided to perform Nikah immediately without the information & involvement of her family, because we can’t live without each other. My Question are: 1) Can we marry/nikah each other without the involvement and information of her family members. Will that Nikah be Valid? 2) If her father gets aggreed after 2 years, will it be allowed for us to perform Nikah again in front of our families? Please give detailed answers because we are very disturbed. May ALLAH bless you with his countless blessings .
Answer:
(Fatwa: 52/52=L/1429)
If both of you are mature (baligh) and good match for each other, then the nikah is valid even if performed in the absence of her family members and without pre-information. But, it is not good to marry in this way. You are advised to win the consent of her family, then proceed to Nikah, so that there is goodwill between the two families.
