Abstract: In Islam marriage is a very simple affair. Islam doesn’t recommend an elaborate set of rites and rituals for marriage. But the Muslims in India practice an elaborate set of rites and rituals while contracting a marriage. The imprint of Hindu culture is so flamboyantly conspicuous on Muslim marriage that Muslims don’t much different from the majority Hindu community in family and kinship patterns and marriage practices. Also Muslims living in different regions don’t exhibit a uniform picture of marriage practices. Researchers find it inexorably difficult to summarize marriage practices in Indian Muslims inevitably because of the regional and cultural dissimilarity. The present paper based on secondary sources studies and presents a colourful picture of these customs and practices among Indian Muslims.
