In Islam, a Nikah (marriage ceremony) is a covenant with God to honor, respect, care for and love your spouse; it is a legally binding contract. The ISEB is honored to celebrate with you on this blessed occasion. ISEB Scholars will solemnize your Nikah . You can request the ceremony at ISEB, at your venue, or online via Zoom.

To conduct a Nikah, the following requirements must be met:

• Bride and groom’s consent to marry
• Two Muslim witnesses (ISEB can provide, with advance notice)
• Bride’s Wali (Guardian i.e. bride’s father)
• Legal marriage documentation from any state in the U.S.
  • If obtaining a marriage license from a nearby court house in the Bay Area, here are three counties near ISEB: Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara. Please contact your County Clerk’s Office for fees and requirements.
  • Before scheduling your Nikkah, we encourage the couple to receive pre-marital counseling at the office at ISEB or online to understand one another and the Islamic marriage model.
  • Before coming in for your in-person or Zoom Nikkah, please complete this Nikkah form, including agreeing on the Mahr (dowry).

Please complete the Nikkah request form below only once you have made your appointment for or received your county marriage license.

In addition to providing a religious wedding officiant, the ISEB also offers facility rentals for your Nikah and a platform to help you find a spouse (only for San Francisco Bay Area residents). For marriage services.
