Nikah Nama Sample & Format Guide

Nikah Nama sample and format — understanding what’s in your marriage contract before you sign. See our main Online Nikah Service page for the full registration process.

What the Nikah Nama Contains

• Names, CNIC numbers, and addresses of bride and groom
• Names and CNIC numbers of the Wali (where applicable) and two witnesses — see our Witness & Wali Requirements guide
• Date and place of the Nikah
• Agreed Mahr (dower) amount and whether it’s prompt or deferred
• Any special conditions agreed between the parties (e.g. delegated right of divorce)
• Signature of the Nikah Khawan/Registrar

Urdu vs. English Nikah Nama

The standard, Union-Council-recognised Nikah Nama is in Urdu. An English version is less commonly available but can be arranged alongside it — useful for embassy or visa purposes, and often needed for our clients in the USA.

Review Before You Sign

We recommend reviewing the Mahr amount and any special conditions carefully before signing. Our team can review your Nikah Nama draft with you before the ceremony.
