Question:
What is opinion on man who only does nikah without civil registration in Europe to protect his wealth in case of divorce and the woman staying without legal rights including health care and man registering children as born to unmarried parents?
Answer:
For a marriage to be valid, a civil Marriage Certificate must be issued. This gives the married couple rights which a couple without civil registration does not have. Upon divorce they can make applications to the court for remedies including maintenance for themselves and their children, sale of property, etc.
