MARRIAGE

The Imams at Alfarooq Islamic Center and the ICSJV are qualified and authorized to perform marriages.  In order to successfully complete a marriage, please take note of the following:
   1.  The couple wishing to get married must purchase a marriage license prior to the ceremony.  If you are 18 years of age or older, you will need to purchase the marriage license from the Office of the Kern County Clerk.  There are several specific requirements that must be satisfied in order for the County Clerk to issue the license.  These requirements are clearly explained on their website at:   http://www.co.kern.ca.us/ctyclerk/marriage/faq.asp
    2.  If you are 17 years of age or younger, you must call the Kern County Probation Department at 661-868-4313 before you can purchase a marriage license. 
    3.  The Imams perform marriages by appointment only.  Therefore, please contact either Imam in order to discuss the Islamic requirements for the marriage and arrange a time for the ceremony.  The Imams may be contacted using the information provided in the "About Us" section of this website listed at the top of this page.  You may also email us at inquiry@iscob.org and we will, God willing, put you in touch with one of the Imams.
     4.  Neither Mosque charges a fee for conducting the ceremony and processing the required paperwork.  However, a donation of at least $100.00 to the Mosque where the ceremony is held is respectfully encouraged in order to help offset the costs of completing the marriage.
