Answers to the most frequently asked questions about our services
quiz
A: Yes, all parties to the contract, as well as the witnesses, must have mobile numbers linked to Absher. Nowadays, hardly anyone is without a mobile phone—except for those whom God wills otherwise.
A: There is flexibility in this regard; the data may be entered by the guardian, or by the husband or wife. However, we believe that prior coordination among all parties is necessary to ensure the data is recorded accurately. This prevents delays in the contract proceedings, as adding a condition that was not previously included would require modification, deletion, or starting the process over—steps that might not be completed on the same day.
: The method for conducting a marriage contract in the Kingdom is to utilize the internet and modern devices, with God's help, to enter the data of the parties to the marriage contract, the amount of the dowry, and the required conditions to be included in the marriage contract. This data is then sent electronically to the central registry for verification. The contracting parties and witnesses are then notified via text message to review the data entered by one of the contracting parties to ensure its accuracy and validation. The marriage officiant then attends to verify the data and confirm the woman's consent to marry the man. Following the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the marriage sermon is delivered, and the contract is electronically documented. Once the contract is officially documented, a message is sent to the contracting parties, and the wife is automatically added to the husband's family record. We ask God to preserve our government for this facilitation.
A: If the divorce deed is recent, it is already registered in the system and does not need to be uploaded; however, if the deed is old, it must be uploaded manually.
A: No, that does not prevent the contract from being concluded; the suspension of services has no bearing on the execution of the marriage contract.
A: Yes, all identification documents—whether those of the contracting parties or the witnesses—must be valid in order to receive messages from the Central Assignment system.
A: There is no need to submit the pre-marital medical examination certificate, as it is automatically linked within the system.
A: For a girl whose father is deceased, her guardian is her appointed executor (if one has been designated)—meaning the person formally named in a will as responsible for arranging her marriage. If no such executor exists, then her guardian is her paternal grandfather, or her paternal great-grandfather (and so on, ascending the paternal line).
A: No, it is not valid for the maternal grandfather to serve as a guardian in the marriage contract.
A: If the father is deceased and the grandfather is also deceased, her guardian is her son—provided she has one. If she has no son, or if the son is a minor under the age of 18, then her guardian is her son's son (grandson). If there is no grandson, or if he is a minor, then her guardian is her full brother.
A: The full brother takes precedence in guardianship, even if he is younger than the paternal half-brother; however, if he grants the paternal half-brother formal power of attorney, the contract is valid under the guardianship of the paternal half-brother—acting as an agent—even if the full brother is present.
A: A more distant guardian (the brother) cannot be appointed as guardian while a closer guardian (the grandfather) is present.
