MARRIAGE

-When anyone of you sends a message of marriage (contract)

to any women, as far as possible, he should try to see her,

for he may find something in her which

may not induce him to marry her.

-Do not marry women for their beauty.

It is possible that their beauty may destroy them.

Do not marry them for their wealth.

It is possible that their wealth make them rebellious.

Instead marry them on the basis of their faith.

And a black maid who is a believer is much better for you.

-O young people, those among you who are able

must enter into marriage.

For it will help you to divert your attention from women.

And it is a safeguard against lust.

And those who cannot marry should observe fast,

for fasting too is a safeguard.

-There are four reasons for a man to marry a women:

her wealth,

her lineage,

her beauty and

her faith.

Woe betides you! Only enter into marriage

with one who has faith.

-Of all the things allowed to men divorce

is most hated by God.

-If any women married without the consent of her guardian,

Her marriage is a void !

-When a man marries, he has completed one half of his religion.

-Marriage is part of my way and whoever keeps away from my way

is not from me (i.e. is not my follower).
