We kept it secret from my in-laws for they were  against our marriage. Now they have agreed. Can we contract a new <em>nikah<\/em> in their presence? I also fear that if they found out the truth they will disown us, and probably not accept me.<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>I understand that you married  a person with consent of your parents and against the will of the  parents of your husband who still do not know anything regarding this  matter due to their being away or because of your keeping the  relationship secret. If you have kept the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.understanding-islam.com\/related\/text.asp?type=question&#038;qid=562\">nikah secret<\/a>  from the society of which the parents of your husband are part then you  have indeed transgressed the Shariah laws which requires that a <em>nikah<\/em>  is contracted in public and is duly announced among the relations and  the society. In this case you need to ask forgiveness from the Almighty  and declare the marriage. Contracting a new <em>nikah<\/em> can be a form  of such open declaration. If however the parents of the husband could  not know it because they live in another part of the world and do not  know much about their son and the fact remained hidden from them only  for this reason and the <em>nikah<\/em> was never kept secret from the relations and the immediate society then the present <em>nikah<\/em> is valid. Repeating the <em>nikah<\/em>  would mean nothing. It is only the social aspect of the matter you are  concerned about and should only be carried out if there is no other  option. For it is only hiding facts, an act not condoned in normal  circumstances. However I have already stated that contracting the <em>nikah<\/em> or leaving it does not affect the present relationship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-28<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6432\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My  husband and I entered into marriage contact a few years ago in the  presence of my parents.
