Murabi (Mullani)

Englisch > Deutsch Rechts- und Patentwesen Urkunden, Diplome, Zeugnisse, Lebensläufe Previous translation from Pakistani(?)
THis is from a Marriage Certificate which was translated from Pakistani to English. It's now supposed to be translated into German.
The source text I have is:

Declaration/Marriage Certificate
...
2. That the said marriage was solemnized here at Karachi, at Ahmedia Hall on 26/5/2006 in between Manzoor Ahmend and Ayesha Ahmed, against the dowery amount of Rs 1,50.000/- rupees One lac Fifty Thousand only).

3. That the marriage was solemnized with Ayesha Ahmed D/o. Mehmood Ahmed are belong from the Ahmedia Sect by virtue of birth before Karachi on 26/5/2006, being a Murabi (Mullana) of Jamat-e-Ahmedia Hall, Karachi.
....

Specifically, I don't understand item number 3, anything that follows after the date 26/5/2006. Who/what is a Murabi, a Mullani...

My understanding so far is: Ayesha is the daughter of Mehmood who is of the Ahmedia Sect. After that I am lost....
Hope this is not too convoluted a question for Kudoz, otherwise I'll re-post it in one of the forums...

http://www.paktribune.com/speakout/comments.php?id=36814I am not sure how reliable this source is, but I am quite sure from the context, too that this would be his official title here,.
Maybe you could also post it also in the English/Urdu language pair?

agree Christo Metschkaroff : Mulla = Mullah = Geistlicher, geistliche Person. IMO the word is of Persian origin

-r Mulla, -r Mullah

Eigentlich ist die Ehe vor einer geistlichen Person, einem Geistlichen geschlossen. Im AmEng habe ich das Wort Mullahs getroffen und in den Nachrichten (CNN) des öfteren gehört. Ausgesprochen wird es wie /m^´la/

islamischer Gelehrter, der an einer Madrasa studiert hat

Dieser Titel wird insbesondere auf dem indischen Subkontinent für die Absolventen einer Madrasa verwendet, vergl. die Links der Wikipedia; da in Pakistan das islamische Recht auch bei Eheschließungen angewandt wird, muß ein Gelehrter (Geistlicher) die Eheschließung offiziell bestätigen.
Example sentence:

so war beispielsweise einer der politischen Gefährten des pakistanischen Staatsgründers M. Ali Jinnahs Maulana Azad

Mullah/religiöser Gelehrter

Where "Mullah" does not carry a formal sense, Maulana is often the word of choice for addressing to Muslim religious scholars. Maulana is more often associated with formal qualification following religious study. I would tend to render it with Mullah. However, what makes me hesitating is the fact, that the Ahmedia Sect is not considered to be Muslim amongst the majority of Muslims.
