Requisites for Muslim wedding (Nikah Ceremony) in Seychelles

There are few scenarios which we should be looking at closely when talking about Muslim weddings in Seychelles.

1.       Both the bride and the groom are Muslims – This is the simplest and only a consent letter is required from the guardian of the bride for allowing her to marry.

2.       Muslim groom and non-Muslim bride – In this case the Imam can act as the guardian of the bride and the wedding can take place.

3.       Non-Muslim groom and Muslim bride – The groom needs to convert to Islam prior to the wedding and the Imam can still represent as the guardian of the bride. In case the groom does not wish to convert to Islam, then they cannot have a religious wedding, but can go ahead with a civil wedding in Seychelles.

In addition to the above, both the bride and the groom will be required to have their original passports to get married in Seychelles.
