Hi,
My wife is in Pakistan and holds an Iqama through her Father. We got married recently; is her Iqama still valid? Or will they prevent her from entering since she is now married? I do not live in Saudi Arabia nor hold an Iqama.
Can wife travel with Iqama from her father after marriage?

There is no issue as the Iqama is still valid. Marriage doesn't change anything while it is still valid.

@XTang Thanks! I kinda expected that, but someone said after marriage the wife can no longer be under her Father's iqama.

Read what I wrote i.e. while the iqama is valid which means current iqama. This issue is only going to come up at renewal time.
