Islamic Records
Islam has no priesthood, therefore no ordinances or sacraments. Sincere recitation of the profession of faith is the only requirement to become a Muslim. Marriages are entered into through a formal prenuptial agreement (nikah nama). The terms of the contract would be written and signed by the couple. Early marriages may have only required a spoken offer of marriage and acceptance. In either case, two male witnesses were essential to establishing the validity of the marriage.
