[quote]Assalam alaikum, First to answer surgeonakhlaq, the only Islamic legal requirement for nikah that I am aware of is the presence of two witnesses, as is true for any transaction or deal (refer to Quran 2.282). It is not a requirement that you have fanfare and lot of people present or a maulvi present to do the khutba. Even mehr is not necessary if the girl waives her right. All these things are good to have, and it is always good to remove all kinds of suspicion and announce the nikah, but we should not make the optional into a requirement. You may consult some Islamic scholar also. Next to saadiamalik, the Quranic injunction is pretty clear. Please read 2.229 and 2.230 (I did not quote the complete verses above, so perhaps that is why there is the confusion). A man cannot directly re-marry his ex-wife if he has given her talaq 3 times. This automatically means that if he has not given her talaq 3 times (i.e. he has given her talaq once or twice), then if they reconcile, they may live together. Since the term of consumation of talaq is 3 menstrual periods, a talaq is not completed if 3 menstrual periods have not elapsed since invocation of talaq. That is why there is no need for nikah for reconciliation before the 3 menstrual periods elapse after invocation of talaq. If however the 3 menstrual periods have elapsed after invocation of talaq, then talaq is complete. Now if they want to be together again, they would have to do nikah like any Muslim man and woman do. After the talaq is finalized, the man and woman are not halal for each other. Nikah can make it halal. But if they keep on playing this game of nikah and talaq 3 times, then the woman has to do nikah with some other man and get talaq from him before she can do nikah with the first guy.[/quote]
