JRF marriage customs

[Princess Mahala]

Welcome yassy
Well from what ive know is there is nikah first, which is signing contracts and in jordans royal familys weve seen there is small gathering for that. Nikah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Some where i read queen noor was one of the first women to attend the signing in jordan family but im not positive.
Then a few weeks/months later they have a banquet or more public celebrations. some have had a traditional gathering for males while women have their own. then weve also seen informal pics from private wedding partys mostly in aqaba, jordan. i suppose they move in together after these celebrations but im not for sure. hope this helps.

heres some link you can search for jrf weddings:

I can see what you mean If you're going according to name sake, then yes you could say that most were not Jordanian.

That said most of the aforementioned JRF members were of Palestinian and or Levanti origin (Lebananon, Jordan, The Palestinian Territories, Israel, Eastern tip of Egypt). The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan formed the majority of Palestine. At least 90% of Jordanians are of Palestinian extraction. So in this sense we can say Jordanian

In general location, strength of historical ties and Diplomatic and Cross cultural relations, are but a few (yet strong) deciding factors.

Levant relatives: Queen Noor Al-Hussein, Princess Ghida Talal, Princess Dina, Princess Sarah Al-Feisal,

Palestinian Relations:

Princess Haya bint Al-Hussein
Princess Noor bint Asem
Princess Alia Al-Tabba
Princess feryal Mohamed
Queen Alia Al-Hussein
Princess Alia bint Al-Hussein
Princess Basma bint Talal
Queen Rania Al-Abdullah


I know that written down seems quite confusing lol

Hi Yassy246!

خطوبة: Pronounced Khatooba is the Engagement, when the party affirms their decision to marry before witnesses. In addition the conditions of marriage, Mehr aka Dowry which is obligatory, Divorce arrangements (if in the event of), and House and Furnishings, Any additional Marital requests are arranged during this event.

نكاح الكتاب: prnounced Nikah Al-Kitaab means The Marriage of the Book. This reaffirms the couple in question's intention to marry, and makes the marriage legal. Without this the marriage won't be recognized by the State. An Adul (Lawyer/Notary) will formalize the aforementioned agreements onto paper, ready to sign, Prayers are made, questions are posed to which a responce of yes or no is made, and rings are exchanged. Finally the Marriage contract is signed, thereafter the Celebrations occur.

زفاف \ واليمة: Pronounced Zefaf and Waleema (to mean Wedding/ Marriagwe Banquet & Celebration) This is the Celebration, which takes place after the Nikah Al- Kitaab. This is to introduce the Newly Legally Married Couple to their honored guests. The form of Zafaf differs from one Islamic country to another but is an elaborate Celebration.

I hope this helps

So let me ask a question, what is the difference between the ceremonies of the Muslim marriage? Engagement\Wedding\reception? and when do the couple live together?

Thank you in advance!

Indeed, this is how Arabs get married. Different versions are possible among the Muslim nations world-wide.

[Roshanah]

True. Traditionally in Morocco the Ceremonies used to take place over the course of a Week. However due to time and other factors Marriages are held over the course of Two Days. Day One: Nikah Al-Kitaab and Day Two: Zfaf.

That said some try to put everything into one day it can be done and one could understand why. Personally speaking its better over two days.

Moroccan Traditional form:

Laylat l Henna
Laylat Al Hammam
Nikah Al-Kitaab
Zfaf (Is extremely elaborate) Containing two parts: Zfaf b Al-Amariya and Zfaf b Al-Kursy)

I fully Agree, Eventhough taghreed Mohammad is from the family that is basically controlling everything in Jordan, so she isn't just an ordinary Jordanian, why not marry a girl from Maan, Irbid, Salt,Karak, ajloun, just an ordinary very well educated, from a well known family, beautiful, mannered and has a good position?! What makes those different from every other NON Jordanian lady who became a part of the RF?

[ayah]

I Think Its Not Makes different if the ladies in jrf are full jordanian or palestanion cause you know we are arabs after all and arabs are one .

Ok, if so as you say why isn't ANY of them married to a Jordanian?

I respect the openness of the JRF with the other Arab nations, but they must give similar opportunities to the Jordanians also

I dont Know Why We dont see Until now a (jordanian princess ) But in my opinion The most important thing That princesses in the royal family must be arabian no matter the nation is and of course muslims .

Probably due to stricter customs and traditions in the past IMO ,but I think now the situation has changed and the new generations can do it

r u sure that 90% of jordanians r of palastinian extraction??
i'm sure that's wrong ... there r some palastinian families who r from jordanian origion and vise versa...
and u can find the same family ,one grandfather went to jordan and the other to palastine...but they have the same familyname !
jordanians are from jordan...
but i'm with u that there are alot of palastinians who live in jordan and they consider themselves JORDANIANS..
they came to jordan after the war

yes absolutely not...

[Rossina]

I agree with you .. 80% is too much!!!!

The government says that Jordanians of Palestinian origins are about 41% of the population (census in 1994) .. you can add the Registered refugees in UNRWA who hold Jordanian nationality ( 1.5 million = 28% of the Jordanians) .. so they are about 71% of the kingdom`s population.

All right everyone let's move on.
We've heard enough on the subject of so-called non-Jordanians in the Royal Family.

Princess Noor`s mother princess Firouzeh is Iranian ( nee Firouzeh Vokhshouri) .. her father Hamed Vokhshouri is living in Tehran/Iran. Princess Alia Tabbaa is Jordanian by birth ..her family is of Syrian origin.

Well if Jordanian Princes could not find a good Jordanian girl then it's okay to marry from different countries , I don't think they like Jordanian girls
