This article examines one of the fundamental components of family formation in Islam, focusing on the legal framework governing marriage. Drawing primarily on Qur’anic provisions, the study analyzes the conditions under which a marital union is considered legally valid within Islamic law. By exploring the normative requirements established by the Qur’an, the paper highlights the principles that regulate the formation of marriage and ensure its legitimacy, thereby situating nikah within the broader structure of Islamic family law.
