ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Nikah Ijtimah

Nikah Ijtimah is a special type of marriage that happens when more than one man marries one woman at the same time.

Imagine you have a mommy and she has two men who both want to be her husband. Instead of choosing just one of them to be her husband, she can choose to marry both of them at the same time. This is what Nikah Ijtimah is.

It is important to remember that this type of marriage is not very common and is only allowed in certain cultures and religions. Also, everyone who is involved in this type of marriage has to agree to it and be okay with it.

Just like any other marriage, Nikah Ijtimah is a very important and serious commitment, and the people involved have to take it seriously.
