The answer

After uttering the two testimonies, the new Muslim is obligated to adhere to the rulings of Islam. Listening to the Quran is always a good sign. An 'urfi (customary) marriage, if it fulfills the legal pillars and conditions (offer, acceptance, guardian, witnesses) and is not officially documented, is valid. However, documentation is advised to protect rights. If the wife absconds, it is an act of disobedience (nushooz), and you have the right to divorce her or seek khul'. As for an 'urfi marriage without a guardian and witnesses, it is null and void. Nevertheless, divorce is necessary in case of separation, and the lineage of a son is attributed to his father, even in a void marriage, if the husband believed it to be valid.
