  • Nikah With A Guy Who Cannot Announce Our Nikah Publicly

    Posted by Ayesha Alam on April 11, 2025 at 2:00 am

    I want to do Nikah with a guy who cannot announce our Nikah publicly. I’ve already talked to my parents, and they have no issue with this’s, I will announce the Nikah to my friends and relatives from my side. Also, I don’t live in Pakistan, so it’s not possible for my parents to be physically present at the Nikah.Will my Nikah be valid?

    Nikah means that a man and a woman would live together as husband and wife and it should be a declared fact. In your condition, it is valid because a good number of people know it. Physical presence of the parents of guardian is not required.

      The issue is that the guy is already married, He lives in another country, so it’s not even possible for us to live together.If I marry him, will this nikah be valid?

    The nikah will be secret from his side, but on my side, I will announce the marriage to everyone in my circle.

      If his wife isn’t happy with marriage, think for a while.

      If the separation is indefinite or very long sister, I hope you know the consequences of this. You will have to fight against you own self in all ways. This could be destructive to your mental health and religion. You will have to fight against your desires. And also think about her life too.


      Sometimes love can take over your mind. Be aware and think a little. Maybe wait sometime and try to see the reality more clearly and with a fresh mind.

    In that case it is deception. The nikah will be valid but with an intention of deception.

    Such marriages cause big problems. If the boy has no courage to disclose his second marriage he should not marry another girl.

    He should annouced his second marriage, or decide to leave one and take the other.

    Deceit to whom? When both of us are in agreement, and I am not interfering in his first marriage, I know I won’t get full rights, but still, I’m willing to compromise. My intentions are pure, and my purpose is sincere so how is the nikah considered deceitful?

      What you are trying to do, might be okay legally and you might be able to coarse your way through islamic jurisprudence, but it is polar opposite to the spirit of Nikkah or marriage. When a couple binds in a nikkah, they announce that they are now together, in spirit they announce that they have become ‘Shareek e Hayat’, implying they are two souls in a body, one’s secret is another, one’s sustenance is shared with the other, one’s future is with the other. Both wife and husband, pledges allegiance of staying pure and devoting themselves to the loyalty, this loyalty is essential for the resultant children that will be beget.

      Polygamy whilst is allowed in Islam, it becomes clear that it is certainly not preferred, hence whenever Almighty permitted having multiple wives, he stressed upon the fact of not compromising on the spirit of the nikkah (i.e compassion/loyalty).

      What your potential husband is trying to do (Keeping his second marriage secret from his first wife), is in grave violation of the above code of conduct. One should ask allah for his refuge in this regard, women don’t naturally want their husband shared, even when they are foretold.

    Keeping is secret from his wife is deceiful. This is what she would perceive when she would come to know about it. Still the nikah is valid.
