In this study we have tried to conduct a rather detailed research on "does according to Quran only a man has the right to Nikkah? Does the man has the right to Nikkah only because he is the breadwinner? Is woman actually subordinate to man in case of Nikkah according to Quran? Quran has set Nikkah as a contract between a man and a woman according to which the man and the woman will live together having sexual relations while respecting some conditions and limits set by Shari'ah. The topic under review explains that according to Quran man and woman both have equal right to Nikkah and also The Quran puts the responsibility of protecting the Nikkah on both the man and the woman. That is why the status of woman, rights and position do not lessen after her marriage. In the matter of Nikkah independent consent of both parties is a must. Both shall be bound to the limits set by Allah. Since Nikkah, according to Quran is an agreement, which is undertaken by the two parties, hence it cannot be a one-sided matter. The woman has the right to engage in the agreement of Nikkah and to be broken it. The religion of God and Shari'ah is not only for men but it addresses all in general. Both men and women means both shall spread the religion of Allah and act upon it. Denial of women's freedom and rejection of her right to chose neither fulfills Allah's will nor it could establish a healthy society.
