What are the requirements for marriage if the father of my fiancé is missing?
Hello
I will be getting married soon to my fiancé, we are both Muslims.
I am a UAE resident, and she is a US citizen, but her father has been missing for the past 10 years.
She does not know if he's dead or alive, or where he is on the planet. What would the procedure be in this situation?

The missing person shall be regarded as dead. His wife shall observe the waiting period of death from the date of his death judgment.
And his estate shall be distributed among his heirs present at the time of the issuance of the judgment.
You should file a case for considering the death of your wife's missing father.
