You must have seen the beautiful pictures of people having Nikkah in Makkah or Madina. If you have ever wondered about the legality, the nationals of Saudi Arabia are legal to have their Nikkah in Makkah or Masjid-Al Nabawi however, the procedure is different for expats.
The foreigners can have the event of Nikkah in Makkah or Madina with their families, where the names of witnesses, bride, groom, and Mahar are noted referring to that the ceremony has taken place religiously. However, the legal process of registration is performed later in Saudi Arabia or the home countries.
Therefore, people who book tickets with their families to have their Nikkah in the most blessed place on the planet can perform the event religiously with legal process occurring later.
