The objective of this project is to look at how total marriage is conducted among the Muslims in Plateau State with the view of identifying the various problems that are associated with it and their prospects. The institution of marriage is the foundation of all civilized nations and communities of the world. That is why all religions and legal systems have tried as much as possible to regulate the conduct of marriage as well as its dissolution among its members. In Islam marriage is seen as a sacred contract which a Muslim enters into, unless if there are special reasons. Why he should not. Both Glorious Qur’an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) provided basis for Muslims conduct of marriage.
