A marriage in Islamic law viewed as a kind of a very lofty agreement (al­ ‘Aqd al­Ghalizha). This agreement is regarded as a very important thing inside of a marriage process. Therefore, the agreement needs an introduction related with the process. Generally, in an Islamic literature this introduction called as al­khitbah or asking in marriage. According to Islamic law perspective, there are some norms in the khitbah (asking in marriage) process. One of them is a man forbidden to ask in marriage to a woman as long as the woman is asked in marriage by another man.
