We discuss whether marriage can happen through a phone call and explain why it cannot. We talk about the Islamic obligations and proper protocols required for a valid marriage, including the necessity of witnesses (two from each side), their age requirements (18+), and their mental capacity. We explain the differences between Islamic Sharia requirements and legal recognition, highlighting that Pakistan's Muslim Family Law Ordinance and NADRA registration are essential for a marriage to be legally recognized. We emphasize that marriage requires proper documentation and cannot be valid with just two people agreeing over the phone.
