Conditions for the validity of Nikaah

Marrying a non-Muslim girl

Q: I have done a civil marriage with a non Muslim girl who will convert to Islam, but has not yet converted due to some financial problem. I have tried to get the nikaah registered but they are asking +/- 10,000 for registering and certificate. Now I have one child. Kindly assist on how to get the nikaah properly and how can I correct my mistakes.

Maintaining one's Hindu culture after accepting Islam

Q: I am a Muslim but my boyfriend is Hindu. He is going to convert to Islam and then we will get married. My question is that after accepting Islam, he wants to keep his culture the way it was. For example, he wants to have a wedding according to the Hindu culture. Is it permissible for him to keep his Hindu culture?

Also, I am willing to turn vegetarian because he was brought up as a vegetarian. Is it permissible for me to do this?

Girl consenting to marriage

Q: A girl is not a virgin and was married previously. This is her second marriage.

When talking about her marriage with mother, the girl said something that her mother understands that her daughter wants to marry. Her father then performed her nikaah without the daughter present. A few days after nikaah, the boy and girl engaged in sexual intercourse. Is this ok?
