The answer

The conditions for marriage in Islamic are five: specifying the spouses, the consent of each, the presence of a guardian, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "There is no marriage except with a guardian" and "Any woman who marries without the permission of her guardian, her marriage is invalid," witnessing it, based on the : "There is no marriage except with a guardian and two just witnesses," and the absence of any legal impediments for both spouses, such as lineage, suckling, affinity, difference in religion (except for the marriage of a Muslim man to a chaste woman from the People of the Book), ' (waiting period), and (sacred state for pilgrimage). As for how marriage is conducted among Jews and Christians, a Muslim should not be concerned with it, because Islam is the true religion.
