The Method of Pronouncing the Permanent Marriage Formula
Issue No. 2030- If a woman and a man themselves want to recite the formula of permanent marriage, the woman should say: “زَوَّجْتُکَ نَفْسِي عَلَي الصَّداقِ الْمَعْلُومِ”“Zawwajtuka Nafsī ‘Ala Ṣidāqil Ma‘lūm”(I have made myself your wife on the agreed mahr)And then the man should respond thus: “قَبِلْتُ التَّزْويجَ”“Qabiltu Tazwīj”(I have accepted the marriage)And if they appoint other person to act as their representative for pronouncing the formula of marriage, it is sufficient if the representative of the woman says:“زَوَّجْتُ مُوَکِّلَتي مُوَکِّلَکَ عَلَي الصَّداقِ الْمَعْلُومِ”“Zawwajtu Muwakkilatī Muwakkiluka ʿAla Ṣidāqil Maʿlūm”(I have given my client to yours client in marriage on the agreed mahr)And thereafter the representative of the man should immediately respond thus: “قَبِلْتُ لِمُوَکِّلي هَکَذا”“Qabiltu Li Muwakkilī Hākadhā”(I have accepted the same on behalf of my client).
