Article 8 of Jaafari Personal Status Law

English translation

Marriage is a contract constituted by verbal offer and acceptance expressing will and intention. Mere mutual consent between the contracting parties is therefore insufficient without verbal offer and acceptance indicating that consent. A mute person is excepted from this.
Arabic original
الزواج عقد يتقوم بالإيجاب والقبول اللفظيين الكاشفين عن الإرادة والقصد، فلا يكفي التراضي بمجرده بين المتعاقدين دون ما يدل على هذا التراضي من إيجاب وقبول لفظيين، ويستثنى من ذلك الأخرس.
