In
Islam, a Wali definition is that of a person, who
is responsible for the bride's life before she is
married. As a Wali, it is also his duty to ensure
that the proposed groom is a reliable and a trustworthy
person who will continue to carry on his role and
responsibility towards the Bride after her marriage.

in the proper hierarchy, a Wali can be the Bride's birth
father, her paternal grandfather, brother, paternal
uncle or any male relative from her paternal side. If
there is none available, then the Kadi will assume the
role as a Wali. |

the letter of authorisation must be pronounced and signed in the presence of a religious official. |
