We both are engaged, our parents are happily agreed for the marriage, but it would be 4-5 yr later, we are fearing that we may commit zina During this years Gap. Can we recite our nikah before the real marriage ceremony ,without informing girl's Father to start halal relationship? We ask our families to do simple nikah ceremony, but they are under social pressure and told when there will be financial stability we would conduct a proper marriage ceremony function ?In this case if we would do nikah now would it be valid without telling anyone with the help of scholar? I Just wanted to know that Without the permission of girl's Father normally Nikah would not be valid right? It is void؟ But in my Case as i shared Nikah would be valid.. Even Without telling girl's father ؟ Will the official wedding ceremony that will happen in a few years would void this nikah or is it of no harm in doing again nikah with the same person ?
