Marriage Ceremonies/Nikah

The Leeds Grand Mosque is licensed to conduct marriage contracts in conjunction with the Register Office.

A marriage ceremony can be conducted in one of two ways:

1. Islamic and civil contracts performed together or
2. Nikah (Islamic contract) only

In either case you need to:

• Attend the mosque and speak with the Imam to arrange a suitable date and time for the cermony. Both bride and groom should be present.
• Bring an existing civil marriage contract to the Mosque as proof of marriage if you only require nikah
• Both parties should bring a proof of indentity.  i.e. passport, driving license

It is mosque policy not to provide the Nikah (Islamic Contract) without proof that a civil marriage contract already exists.

Costs

There is a minimum charge of £25 (pounds) for performing a Islamic marriage contract.  This is payable as a donation to the Mosque.  Please note this does not include the costs of a civil marriage contract.
