Phase 1 Weddings (June 2020); ⠀
So you may or may not have heard but here’s a summary:⠀
•⠀
1. Solemnisation from 2-12 June to be done virtually (with marriage cert sent via courier) or in-person at ROMM only.⠀
2. Solemnisation from 13-30 June to be done in the 12 allocated mosques.⠀
3. Solemnisation cannot take place in private or public housing. ⠀
4. Venue and time would be decided by ROMM. Couples to wait for a call or contact their Naib Kadi on the tentative arrangements.⠀
5. Each solemnisation slot should take between 20 minutes at most.⠀
6. No live sessions allowed in the mosque during solemnisation.⠀
7. A maximum of 10 pax (not including Kadi) is allowed to be present.⠀
8. This includes the bride, groom, wali and two male witnesses who may not be family members, leaving slots for five pax to be only immediate family members of the couple. ⠀
9. Akad Nikah will be done with minimal contact & everyone present, including bride and groom to put on face mask. ⠀
10. No reception allowed after the solemnisation ceremony.⠀
•⠀
Since most decoration, photography & bridal companies do not fall within Phase 1 businesses permitted to operate, I would believe solemnisations happening during this period should then be an epitome of the simplest of all celebrations. ⠀
