It is permissible for the husband to enjoy his wife after the legitimate marriage contract, with the offer and acceptance between the guardian and the husband in the presence of two witnesses, even if the contract has not been officially registered in court. However, intercourse should not occur before the wedding in deference to custom and to prevent potential problems.
