Abstract

The concept of marriage and divorce in Muslim law is based on ancient perspectives and a historical perspective among Muslims. Personal law, which contains the Quran (holy book of Muslims), Sunnat (traditions), Ijma (consensus), and Qiyas (analogical deductions). Quran is the most important source in Muslim Law. Marriage is seen as a civil contract in Muslim law. Nikah and muta marriages are two different types of Muslim marriages. Both the likely husband and wife must fulfill various significant conditions before entering into a Nikah marriage, such as the age of majority, the parties' permission, Mehr, and so on. Because Muslim marriage is a civil contract, one party makes an offer, which is accepted by the other. Divorce by husband, by wife, by mutual consent, and by judicial order are the four types of divorce in Muslim Law.
