  1. I am muslim. I want to marry a girl I love but my parents want it under a 'nikka' or muslim arrangement . Is this legal ? My fiancee is from Malaysia and wants to work and live here with me. Can I file for permanent residency in Trinidad under a muslim marriage ?

  2. While there are others, the main requirements for a valid nikka are:
    1. Both people must be Muslim
    2. The marriage must be done by a certified Marriage Officer
    3. The marriage must be registered within 7 days

    The Muslim Marriage Act gives nikkas the same validity as Christian marriages, so you can file for her.
