Proxy Marriage in Pakistan
When one party cannot attend the nikah in person, a wakil (representative) can give consent on their behalf. ICTV prepares the authority documents and guides the registration.
About Proxy Marriage
In a proxy marriage, one party appoints a wakil by a written authority, and the wakil states that party's consent at the nikah in front of witnesses. It is often used by overseas Pakistanis and by people who cannot travel. What matters is that the absent party really consented, that the authority is clear and that the marriage is properly recorded.
We prepare the power of attorney or authority letter, advise on the attestation of documents signed abroad, arrange the nikah with witnesses and register the nikahnama. Afterwards we help you update NADRA records and prepare documents for visa or other use.

Common Questions
Short answers about proxy marriage.
Is a proxy marriage valid in Pakistan?
It can be valid when the absent party has clearly authorised the wakil, witnesses are present and the marriage is properly recorded. We prepare the documents to support this.
Who can act as a wakil?
Usually a trusted adult named in the written authority. We advise on choosing the wakil and on how to record the authority.
What if the absent party later denies consent?
That is why a clear, attested authority and witnesses matter. We prepare the documents carefully so that the consent is on record.
Will a visa office accept the marriage?
Visa offices set their own rules. We prepare your papers carefully, but only the visa authority decides.
