neutral Nancy Eweiss : randa, deputize is used in context of giving authority or power (e.g. governement, police etc) which is not the case here, the wali (guardian ولي) of the bride is not deputized by her, he is acting on her behalf, or representing her as you said in وكيل

thank you, but in all cases وكيل is not the ولي at all. they have different roles.. for example وكيل الزوج and the زوج does not need a ولي but he might authorize someone else to represent him at عقد القران if he were absent for a reason

neutral Randa Farhat : but we don't call موكِّل الآخرين للقيام بتزويجه a client! this person acts as a delegated party by the groom to wed him to the bride. groom and bride are not called clients. i think we need to come up with a new term for that.

Suggestion

The وكيل of the bride is normally her wali ولي (guardian); her father, uncle, a scholar that she chosses etc.. so if you choose to consider him as a wali then he would say "my ward so and so." If you choose to consider him a وكيل, then probably "mandator" is more suitable for both the bride and groom, or just mention the name of both. Deputize does not fit here (see my comment to randa2). One more comment about "إيجاب و قبول" it is simply offer and acceptance, you cannot affirm something which has not been said yet. In Fiqh, إيجاب means an offer from the bride or her wali, which is known that both parties would accept anyway, so it is a technical term which is not directly related to the pure linguistic meaning of the word. There are many links, relevant to family law in Islam or fiqh of marriage in Islam, here is one of them. You'll find that all relevant books and lectures refer to it mainly as "offer and acceptance."

neutral Randa Farhat : regarding إيجاب وقبول i searched and found it is best to translate as "proposal & consent". but for وكيل he's not necessarily the ولي. also, the term in question here is الموكِل, that is in fact the زوج and the زوجة who have أوكلوا وكيلين عنهما

the وكيل of the wife is most probably her wali as in the Hadith "لا نكاح إلا بولي و شاهدي عدل" it is just the custom in Egypt (as I know for sure) that they call him وكيل الزوجة, definitely the man has no wali so the wakil is representing him or her.
