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 a nd 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 digitali zation 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.
