The parties are seated more closer. Their hands are held together by the honorable Syed. He recites the clause of consent, which both the boy and the in-law repeats. The ‘mahr’ is also brought and shown as this is recited. Although the clause is originally in Arabic, its translation in the mother tongue is also said to add to the understanding. Everyone present remains silent and closely observes the parties in agreement. This lasts only a few minutes.
The chapter ‘fatihah’ is recited and few other chapters from Holy Quran. The Syed performs the supplication to which the assembly repeats amen. In the end, the boy and in-law shakes hands. The mahr is exchanged. And so is greetings with each other. Sweets are distributed and so are congratulatory messages.

Assalamu Alaikkum
congratulations brother, you are steeped into a life. that is going to be entirely different than what were known to you before. it is an experience through which the creator made the mechanism of love in between man and woman. al hamdulillah.. any way let me tell you: it is not that much big thing to being pompus that your nikkah is done in presence of Syed Thangal.. let us re think about blind adoration of Ahl al baith let god show us the true path apart from the deviations.
hope your poetry will find new horizons as you step towards a new life.
with prayers…
