Frequently asked questions

Can an imam in Vaughan legally marry us in Ontario?
Only if they are a registered marriage officiant with the Province of Ontario. On ImamConnect, every profile clearly shows either "Registered officiant (legal + religious)" or "Religious ceremony only". Filter for registered officiants if you need the legal marriage as well.
Do we need an Ontario marriage licence before the nikah?
If you want the marriage legally registered, yes. You must obtain a marriage licence from a city hall or municipal office before the ceremony, and bring it on the day. The imam cannot issue the licence for you. For a religious-only nikah, no licence is required.
What languages can the nikah be conducted in Vaughan?
Imams serving Vaughan conduct ceremonies in a range of languages — English, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, Punjabi, Bengali, Somali, and more. Each profile lists the languages the imam can conduct the full ceremony in, not just speak casually.
How quickly will we hear back after requesting a date?
