Nikah, according to Islamic law is known as a bi-lateral contract (aqd) proposed by the woman and accepted by the man. That is why a bridegroom always says an โacceptance speechโ after being offered the bride by her father during the Nikah officiation. However, for this Nikah to be strong enough there supposed to be mutual love between parties as Allah says, in the Suratur Rum, 30:21:
“…And among His signs is that He creates for you mates of your kind and causes love and tenderness between you, so you find peace in each other, Indeed in this is a message for people who reflect…”
