In Islam, marriage is a contract (Standard Arabic: عقد القران; Egyptian Arabic: كتب الكتاب Katb el-Ketāb; Urdu: Nikahnama) between a man and woman to live as husband and wife. A formal, binding contract is considered integral to a religiously valid Islamic marriage, and outlines the rights and responsibilities of the groom and bride. The marriage must be declared publicly. Divorce is permitted.

In addition to the usual marriage until death or divorce, there is a different fixed-term marriage known as Nikāḥ al-Mutʿah ("temporary marriage") permitted only by Twelvers (a branch of Shia Islam) for a pre-fixed period.

It was a Sunnah (custom) of earlier prophets which the Islamic Prophet Muhammad re-instituted and passed on to his ummah or community. The Arabic word for marriage is nikah (Arabic: نكاح‎ nikāḥ), which is generally used to refer to Islamic marriages.

According to the Qur'an a man may have up to four wives at any one time; the restriction on the number was not customary before the Qur'an. There are certain conditions and a warning to men in that the husband is required to treat all wives equally, if not, it is a sin. A bride-to-be may stipulate in the marriage contract her conditions such as monogamy. A woman may not have more than one husband, which is regarded as unacceptable because it could create difficulty in determination of paternity and hence responsibility of upbringing of children and inheritance.
