Saudi Arabia Context

Marriage in Saudi Arabia is governed by Islamic family law, and marriage certificates are issued by the courts or notarised by a licensed marriage official (Ma'dhun). The marriage contract follows a specific Islamic law format that includes terms such as Mahr (dowry), Wali (guardian), and Nikah (marriage ceremony).

Document Format

Saudi marriage certificates include the names and details of both spouses, the Mahr amount, the date of marriage in Hijri format, and the name of the officiating Ma'dhun. They are stamped by the court and may include conditions agreed upon by both parties.
