Marriage is a cultural or religious bond/union between two people. It is also known as wedlock or matrimony. It sets up rights and obligations between the husband, wife, their children and in-laws. But we have made it a pressurized event now. Marriage is Sunnah in Islam.
“And We created you in pairs” The Quran (78:8)
In Islam, a man is allowed two marry 4 different women as per his choice but with the permission of his last wife. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW married to 11 different women and of different ages and different marital statuses.
But here we have made different concepts and trust me we have made marriages so difficult by ourselves. How? If we talk about boys or their families, they want beautiful, fair, educated, slim and smart girls. And if we talk about girls so think around 30 to 40% of the girls demand for handsome, rich, good looking boys even some of them have issues with the beards too. I’m just not getting their point and then they say we totally follow Islam. I want to ask all of them that just tell who had done these type of things in our Islamic history?
We have brought the concepts of Casts, Sunnis, Shias and some other stupid things. And now we just want our partner as per our demands. How? No one is 100% perfect, not even me and you. One most irritating thing is marriage bureaus and those aunties. Oh My God! That’s worst, these aunties are totally pickpockets.
Other than this we have made marriages this much expensive that every one cannot afford them. We have made it so much complicated we just can’t think of that. Our beloved Prophet said “Nikah Aasan Kro” and what we have done, we made is so complicated. This much complicated that, we have made people to go towards RAPE. Yes Rape, isn’t it common nowadays? , don’t you get different cases to hear on almost daily bases? We know very well that only clothes are not the reason for all of this.
Dowry is also one of the cheapest demands, furniture is just a normal thing, they have different things to ask for like some ask for houses, some for cars, some for a lot of gold etc.
If we talk about compelled/forced marriages so even our Prophet Muhammad SAW asked his daughter (Bibi Fatima) about Hazrat Ali’s proposal so who are you to not give your daughters their right. They have a right to tell their choice and to reject the one she don’t want to spend their life with.
