Al Nikah is a consensual marriage according to Islamic Marriage Law.

[edit] Marriage Conditions

Islam does not regard it as a union only for the gratification of sexual loss, but a social contract with wide and varied responsibilities and duties. The reason behind it is that, according to the Divine Faith, a woman is not a plaything in the hand of man, but a spiritual and moral being who is entrusted to him on the sacred pledge to which Allah is made a witness. The wife is, therefore, not meant to provide sensuous pleasure only to the male, but to fully co-operate with him in making the life of the family and ultimately of all of humanity meaningful. You can divorce from this relationship. Polygamy with up to fiur women is allowed under certain circumstances, but the four women must be previously free and unbound by the law The religion of Islam was revealed for all societies and all times and so accommodates widely differing social requirements. Circumstances may warrant the taking of another wife but the right is granted,according to the Quran, only on condition that the husband is scrupulously fair. If the woman does not want to marry a man who already is married, she cannot be forced to.

[edit] Divorce

If a man says to his wife three times "I Divorce You" they are divorced. Allah ta'alah (God) has also said that one should not divorce someone. Allah's Ursh(floor) shakes when the word divorce is heard. Islam strongly stresses that divorce should not be carried out unless some serious conditions exist.
