Nikah nama is a marriage contract between a Muslim couple and is usually in Arabic or Urdu, depending upon the country you live in. However, sometimes, the couple has to move abroad, or one of the spouses needs the nikah nama for immigration purposes. In such cases, the country that tha couple is moving to will not accept the nikah nama written in the native language of the couple. The couples moving to China will need their Nikah nama to be translated into Chinese for the Chinese immigration authporities.
