Question
I want to get married to a woman without telling my family or announcing the marriage publicly. If we announce the marriage at this time, it will cause problems. I will simply marry her in the presence of her father and close family. Is this allowed in Islam?
Answer
The marriage must take place in the presence of the woman’s guardian, among witnesses, and it should be in a correct form for a marriage contract.
The husband may decide not to announce his marriage to his relatives or his family and others. If the pillars of marriage were fulfilled, then it is a lawful marriage, even if it is not pubicly announced as people normally do. The acknowledgement of this marriage by the witnesses is enough.
However, it should never be thought that a marriage could take place without any guardian and without any witnesses, which is adultery and not marriage.
And Allah knows best.
