Description | Announcement to all Muslim Mukhtars: Higher orders dated in Jumâdâ al ‘Akhira (1)316, and the 10th of Aylûl (1)317 number 520, from the Ministry of Interior, have stated that marriage contracts are sometimes signed without our permission which disrupts military proceedings. Therefore, a decision from the state’s council (shûra) has been communicated to the higher sheikhs and all governors and deputies of the provinces, which orders public prosecutors to file a lawsuit with the presence of the assigned court and imams and mayors who dare sign a marriage contract without our permission, and arrange their legal punishments. In order for this to be known, these procedures were announced on the 15th of Tishrîn Awwal (1)317 (28th of October 1901). [6 signatures] |
