Summary/Abstract: Marriage was one of the many matters presided over by kadis in their districts. This paper examines the matter of marriage through cases from the Tešanj kadiluk dating from the second half of the 18th century. A total of 120 written marriage contracts were analysed. They reveal how marriages were concluded, who the parties to the contracts were, as well as other particularities found in the records of the Tešanj kadi. Marriage was concluded by a kadi or naib and in extraordinary circumstances by an authorised imam from one of the jamaats. However, “authorising of imam” was rarely done in practice.
