Indian hard line Muslim organization (Deoband sect), have now given their approval for online Nikah (Muslim marriage). The chairman of Islamic Council of India is quoted as "In such a marriage, Internet is assigned the role of a vakil who is authorised to formally receive Ijaab aur Qubool (offer and acceptance) made by both parties." And vakil is a lawyer, in lay man's terms, which to me was always a real person!
This is the same sect that was most eloquently in favor of Taliban of Afghanistan, perhaps the most hard line Muslim sect of India. Taliban saw that sect as their spiritual guide.
Look what technology can do!
