How is testimony concerning marriage (Nikah) treated compared to other statements?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Judicial Rulings
Primary text
Testimony concerning marriage is treated as a single action (like a single act), unlike testimony regarding general statements, which follows the rulings of a sale contract.
Supporting text
If testimony conflicts on the date of marriage (e.g., yesterday versus today), the testimony fails because the two alleged marriages are distinct events, and in neither event is the testimony complete by two witnesses.
