Abstract: Marriage is one of the most significant events in the life of an individual and from demographic point of view is a vital event leading to further reproduction and continuity of the human race. The concept of marriage has been common to all societies, though it carries structural and functional variations according to different environmental conditions. A Muslim marriage is both a devotional act as well as a contract between the spouses-based on the mutual acceptance of the bride and the groom and the fixation of mehr. which a husband has to give as a gift to his wife.
