Marriage Contract

In India, people have started a new tradition. When the Imam recites/reads the NIKAH contract of the couple, he does not mention the amount the MAHR (DOWRY). Is NIKAH (marriage contract) valid?

I have chosen a spouse for marriage and my father was not agreeing in beginning but now Alhamdulillah he agreed to proceed. My father is not practicing Muslim. He has chosen the local imam who does not have correct aqeeda and gives taweez to women. If I tell dad to change the imam he gets angry and is strict on him performing the nikah. What should we do?

This is not permissible for a number of reasons. You can’t marry her without the consent of the Muslim judge in Dubai. You can’t be alone with her as she is non mahram to you. The witnesses must be present and Muslim.
