Issues like lineage, social, financial, educational and other status, etc., in the realm of marriage, particularly in Indian context, were discussed threadbare. Consensus was reached on the following issues. All Muslims are a brotherhood and there is no place for superiority or inferiority based on their lineage. A Muslim girl, who is sane and has attained puberty, has a right to perform her nikah even without the consent of guardian, though it is desirable that there be a consent of both girl and her guardian. Nikah of a Muslim girl and boy, who are sane have attained puberty, performed through their mutual consent is valid in the eye of Islamic Shariah.
Family members have no right to object to a nikah whether contracted between the equals or inequals.
There was a consensus among the Ulema on the issues of Neo-Muslims marrying the Muslim girls. Ulema felt that not only is this marriage legally valid, and desirable but is also of high merit and piety. The participation of Ulema representing various schools of thought in IFA seminar has given the decisions of the seminars a great consensus value. The accruing interest money should not be left with the bank. Most of the participants in the seminar were agreed that this money could also be spent on the general welfare of the people as well as on paying usual obligatory alms.
