Today, the investigation file against doctor Dervish Hasi, who is accused by the prosecution of the criminal offenses of pornography and sexual relations with minors, was revealed.
The girl has admitted that she met the doctor at the age of 14 and after communicating they started to like each other.
She adds that she married the doctor from a hojja according to a document called "nikah".
But what is "Nikah" or marriage agreement in Islam?
In Islam, the marriage between the bride and the groom is a legal contract, known as "Nikah".
The Nikah ceremony is a part of several steps of a marriage arrangement considered ideal according to Islamic tradition.
The Proposal: In Islam, the husband is expected to formally propose to the wife or her entire family. A formal proposal is considered an act of respect and dignity.
Mahr: A gift of money or other possessions from the groom to the bride agreed upon before the ceremony.
This is an obligatory gift that legally becomes the property of the bride. Mahr is often money, but it can also be jewelry, furniture, or housing.
Mahr is usually stipulated in the marriage contract signed during the marriage process and is traditionally expected to be of sufficient monetary value to allow the wife to live comfortably if the husband were to die or divorce.
If the groom cannot afford the Mahr, it is acceptable for his father to pay it.
The Nikah ceremony is where the marriage contract becomes official with the signing of the document, indicating that she has accepted it of her own free will.
Although the document itself must be agreed to by the groom, the bride, the bride's father or another male member of her family, the bride's consent is necessary for marriage.
After a short sermon has been given by a religiously qualified official, the couple officially become husband and wife by reading the following short dialogue in Arabic:
The bride says "A Kah'tu nafsaka a'lal mah'ril ma'loom" ("I have given myself in Nikah for you, in Mahr agreed.")
The groom immediately says, "Qabiltun Nikaha". ("I have accepted Nikah.")
If either or both partners are unable to read Arabic, they can appoint representatives to do the recitation for them.
At that moment, the couple becomes husband and wife.
