Greater Houston has one of the largest and fastest-growing Muslim communities in the United States, with masjids all over a very large metro area. Zawaj helps Houston Muslims find someone who is serious about nikah.
A huge metro, and a lot of driving between communities.

Marriage licence and nikah in Texas.
To be legally married in Texas you need a marriage licence from a county clerk, such as Harris County or Fort Bend County, and an authorised officiant to perform the ceremony. Many imams can officiate, so the nikah and the legal marriage are often done together.
Texas generally has a short waiting period between issuing the licence and the ceremony, and the licence expires if it isn’t used within a set window. Some exemptions apply, for example after an approved premarital course. Check the current rules with the county clerk before you set a date.
