Where can you collect a Kabin Nama in Bangladesh?

Question:

Kabin Nama can be collected from any Kaji office or from the Kaji office where marriage takes place?

Answer:

In Bangladesh, a Kabin Nama (marriage certificate) is typically issued by the Kazi office where the marriage is performed. Here’s what you need to know:

  1. Kabin Nama Issuance:
    • The Kabin Nama is a formal marriage contract under Muslim Family Law in Bangladesh. It is registered at the Kazi office at the time of the marriage.
    • After the marriage is solemnized by a Kazi (Islamic marriage officiant), the Kabin Nama is signed and then registered at that specific Kazi office.
  2. Where to Collect the Kabin Nama:
    • If the marriage took place at a specific Kazi office, you can collect the Kabin Nama only from that office. The Kazi office where the marriage was performed will have the official record.
    • If you need a copy of the Kabin Nama after the marriage, you can request it from the same Kazi office where the marriage took place.
  3. What to Do if You Don’t Have the Kabin Nama:
    • If the marriage took place but the Kabin Nama was not issued or you lost the original copy, you can approach the same Kazi office for a certified copy.
    • In case you are unable to reach the original Kazi office, you may consult the local court for assistance, as they can help in retrieving or verifying marriage documents under certain circumstances.
