Islamic marital or nikah practices are traditions and practices that relate to wedding ceremonies and marriage rituals between a man and a woman in the Muslim world. Muslims are guided by Islamic laws and practices specified in the Quran, but Islamic marriage customs and relations vary by country of origin and government regulations, and non-Muslim practices (cakes, rings, music) sometimes appear despite the efforts of revivalists and reformers. Islam encourages early marriage, not preceded by dating between the prospective bride and groom, as Islamic law places "strict conditions on interactions" between the opposite sexes. Consequently, mainstream Islamic marriages tend to be "family affairs" where parents and other older relatives are involved in match making. Islamic marital jurisprudence allows Muslim men to be married to multiple women (a maximum of four at one time).
