Hot Topic: Marriage

Assalamu Alaikum,

On Facebook, I created a group that discuss various topics for sisters.

Marriage is a HOT TOPIC.

Many sisters speak on many problems that they may have:

1. Not receiving their rights from husbands
2. Being abused
3. Husband isn't taking care of them and their family
4. Husband isn't wanting to practice Islam
5. and etc.

We must learn our deen so we can know what marriages look like.
Its important that we know our partners before marrying them.

Islam have laid out some conditions in protecting these sort of situations.

Salam, what are your thoughts?

  1. Yes, marriage is a huge thing. I think that we all need to be more educated about the best ways to find our spouses because so many of us put priorities in a spouse in the wrong places. Some will want to base it on "love" and then find that there are so many other problems after the passion has died down a little (mostly ones you listed). Others want it to be about religion only and find that their personalities are not suited for each other. So even if the religion is there, it can be hard to have "fun" together.

    I think the first one is obviously a much bigger problem because if you have Islam practiced well, you have all your rights given to you by our husband and you are taken care of and safe. You have support in strengthening your relationship with Allah, etc. So these women choosing men for their level of iman are doing well, BUT they should know that it's not wrong to also have a few criteria that are their's alone and not Islam. Like liking some of the same things, etc. You can look for both!
