Christian court marriage/civil marriage process is almost identical to Muslim court marriages
Christian traditional marriages and civil marriages are almost the same as that of Muslims. The only difference is that a Pastor or Priest conducts Christian marriages but a Nikah Khawan conducts Muslim marriages. Christians can get married in either a civil marriage way or in a Christian church. However, the easiest way to get married is to go through a court marriage because it is very inexpensive. Christian couples have several reasons why getting married in a civil court is relatively easier than getting married in a church. When you get married through a court, it will be recorded on your official government record, which will make it easier for you if you need to file a legal case or deal with any legal problems down the road. However, if you want to keep the marriage secret, it would be kept so.

Christians are free to marry with their own free will and mutual consent
Christian couples in Pakistan are free to marry of their own free will and with mutual consent. The Pew Research Center found that Christians are a minority group in Pakistan, where they make up just 2.5 per cent of the population. However, the Pakistani government recognizes Christian marriages, and there is no religious discrimination or persecution. While Islamic law technically dictates marriage practices for all Muslims in Pakistan, there is significant variation among sects and tribes within the Muslim community. Different groups of Christians are able to choose from a variety of legal procedures when getting married. Christians enjoy equal civil rights as Muslims openly celebrate their marriages as a way of asserting their religious identity and defending their rights against discrimination.
Christian culture and customs are almost similar to Muslim culture and traditions for marriage
Christian culture and customs are almost similar to Muslim culture and traditions for marriage. For example, the bride and groom exchange rings during their wedding ceremony. Married couples usually retire to their bedroom after the ceremony. Christian court marriages often last an hour while Muslim weddings might last half an hour. Typically, Christian couples kiss at the end of the ceremony, but Muslims do not.
In Pakistan, for a marriage to be lawful, both parties must be Christian. However, if one person is Muslim (such as a Christian bride and a Muslim groom), then the wedding is conducted under Muslim law through a Nikah ceremony.
Christian Court Marriage Solemnization and Registration Law in Pakistan
Christian court marriage solemnization and registration laws are different from those of Islamic marriage. Muslim couples must marry in a religious ceremony presided over by a cleric/Nikah Khawan, while Christian couples may either have a civil ceremony or go through a church for marriage. All marriages in Pakistan must be registered.
Christian Court Marriage: Requirements
There are many Christian pastors, ministers, and priests who will perform weddings, but keep in mind that not all of them are licensed to conduct legal marriages. Once you have contacted our law firm, you will need to have your national identity card or any other identification documents. Your marriage certificate will be issued by a government-authorized Christian marriage registrar. You may also need to provide proof of citizenship or residence of your spouse (in case you are marrying someone who is not Pakistani). You will also need to bring identification documents for each person witnessing the wedding, or we can arrange Christian witnesses for some additional fee. We will pay the minister or priest who performed the wedding ceremony a fee, as we charge you our legal fee for all services including marriage registration services.

Marriages are an important part of a Christian's life
A Christian court marriage is an important ceremony in a Christian’s life. It is a way of declaring to the world that this couple is married in the eyes of God. A civil marriage may be more convenient for some, however; a Christian court marriage has many benefits.
Christian Court Marriage is Recognized by the Pakistani Legal System
One big benefit of a Christian court marriage is that it is recognized under Pakistani law. This means that any legal issues that may arise between the couple (such as property disputes or child custody issues, etc.) will be handled through the legal system, rather than through private churches. This can be important if one spouse has different religious beliefs from the other, or if there are disagreements about how their relationship should be conducted.
Spiritual Benefits of Christian Marriage
Another advantage of having a Christian marriage is that it provides spiritual benefits. In Christianity, marriages are seen as holy unions between Christ and His bride (the church). By getting married in a Christian way, you are affirming your faith in this union and committing yourself to honour it throughout your relationship. This can provide strength and stability to your relationship, even when things get tough.
All Religious Minorities in Pakistan are Safe and Free to Enjoy Their Fundamental Human Rights
All religious minorities in Pakistan are safe and free to enjoy their fundamental human and civil rights. This is due to the protection granted by the Constitution of Pakistan, which guarantees all citizens the right to freedom of conscience and religion. Additionally, the Pakistani government has enacted several laws and policies that protect these rights.
Protection Provided By The Constitution To Get Married Freely:
The Constitution of Pakistan protects religious minorities by guaranteeing their right to freedom of conscience and religion. This means that they are free to practice their beliefs without fear of persecution or discrimination. The Constitution also prohibits conversion from one faith to another without free consent from the person concerned.
Protection of Religious Rights of the Minorities– Including The Right To Marry Through Court:
The Pakistani government has enacted several policies that protect religious minorities. These include the National Commission for Minorities Act 2001, which establishes a statutory body to monitor and promote the welfare of religious minorities in Pakistan, and the Protection of Religious Institutions Act 1986, which provides legal protection for places of worship belonging to religious minorities.
Although there have been some instances of discrimination against religious minorities in Pakistan, overall they are safe and free to enjoy their fundamental human rights.
