The legal method of marriage is achieved by observing the conditions of validity, the most important of which are: the guardian (wali) and witnesses. Whoever wishes to marry you can propose to your guardian for engagement, then complete the marriage with a legal contract. Legal impediments should be observed to avoid embarrassment, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Beware of that for which an excuse must be made." A residency permit is not a legal impediment to marriage, but violating its regulations may lead to embarrassment.
