Na het lezen van de informatie van Armaat en deze internetreferentie:

\"Islam: Het huwelijk is een zuiver burgelijke handeling. De huwelijksovereenkomst wordt tussen de bruidegom en de voogd van de bruid gesloten. De voogd moet wel eerst de toestemming van de bruid krijgen...\"

zou ik het voorstel \"regent\" graag willen veranderen in \"voogd\".

Information (not for points)

Sorry for butting in here, as I speak neither Dutch nor Urdu. Nevertheless, the word Vakil comes from Arabic Wakil and means (in Arabic) representative or agent, in this case I think guardian would be closest.
Urdu has many words taken directly from Arabic. See this article about Muslim marriages in India
>>when the barat with the bridegroom arrives at the bride's house and her vakil( who usually an elderly relative), in the presence of two witnesses, obtains the consent of the bridegroom to the contracting of the marriage. He then informs the parents or guardians of both the parties. The qazi then reads khutbah after obtaining the acceptance by the bride through the vakil and the witnesses and the ceremony is over. <<
