Muslim marriage though essentially a contract is also a devotional act, its objects are the right to enjoyment, procreation of children and the regulation of social life in the interest of the society. Marriage among Muhammadans is not a sacrament, but purely a civil contract; though it is solemnized generally with recitation of certain verses from the Koran, yet the Muhammadan law does not positively prescribe any service peculiar to the occasion. There are nine legal effects flowing from a valid marriage:
1. Sexual intercourse becomes lawful and the children born of the union are legitimate.
2. The wife becomes entitled to her dower.
3.The wife becomes entitled to maintenance.
4. The husband becomes entitled to restrain the wife's movement in a reasonable manner.
5. Mutual rights of inheritance are established.
6. The prohibitions regarding marriage due to the rules of affinity come into operation.
7. The wife is not entitled to remarry after the death of her husband, or after the dissolution of her marriage, without observing iddat.
8. Where there is an agreement between the parties, entered into either at the time of the marriage subsequent to it, its stipulations will be enforced, insofar as they are consistent with the provisions or the policy of the law.
9. Neither the husband nor the wife acquires any interest in the property of the other by reason of marriage
