ABSTRACT: Marriage is a momentous event in anyone’s life. It is not just an
ordinary relationship. This partnership is supported legally by a civil
contract between a man and a woman.
According to Islamic values, the Muslim community keeps records of their
marriage contract called Nikah-Nama. Currently, the Bangladesh government
records the Nikah-Nama in a classic logbook. It is 2022, and this sector has
not seen significant upgradation for decades. This system is highly
inefficient, prone to impairment, and has fraud loopholes. Corrupt citizens use
these loopholes to cheat life partners, cross the marriage limits and conduct an enormous number of
offenses. This paper proposes an approach to revolutionize the entire marriage
recording system of Bangladesh. It describes step-by-step procedures and the
better way to implement a digital Muslim marriage data preservation system.
Bleeding-edge technologies are prioritized in this work by keeping web 3.0 in
mind to bring innovation to this segment. This paper reflects the minimal
approach to the proper digitalization of this
issue. The whole idea of this concept is highly scalable. This prototype
implementation is ready for any community, group, religion, or Government with an affordable technical infrastructure. The demonstration version is developed according to the
conventional marriage rules and guidelines of Bangladesh. Nevertheless,
others can also adopt this software ecosystem with minor or further
modifications.
