Conditions to Do A Valid Nikah By Yourself
Following are the conditions that you must take care of while doing Nikah by yourself.
Bride and Groom are Valid for Nikah
It is a must to ensure that the bride and the groom are valid to enter into Nikah.
- If a Muslim man marries a non-Muslim woman, then Christian or Jewish women can be acceptable for Nikah if she does not worship anyone other than God. In case, she worships any idol or follows polytheism, it is Shirk and she cannot enter into Nikah with a Muslim man.

Blessings of Imam
It is important to take the blessings of Imam or any Muslim Scholar or Judge, but it cannot surpass the importance of taking blessings from parents. If the blessings of only Imam are involved, without parents, it means the Nikah is done in secret and it will invalidate the Nikah.
