Things To Look Out For In A Muslim Marriage

By Walter Olson


There is a lot that usually takes place during a union such as this. The most important part however is the signing of a marriage certificate which legalizes the union. During the entire process, a man is supposed to be put in a separate location until after the reception is over. Most of these are not carried out in the mosques as many people would presume. Below is information on Muslim marriage.

Unlike other religions like Christianity, polygamy is not prohibited. According to the teachings of their holy book, they can marry up to four wives. They are required to be able to fend for the entire family if they decide to go polygamous. This is however a tradition which is being eradicated slowly in many Islam communities.

One of the main disadvantages of this type of marriage is that the partner gets selected for the couple. This means that they do not have the privilege to spend the rest of their lives with someone they like. Partners are chosen based on their level of education and their social class.

A Muslim man is allowed to marry a Christian woman but a Muslim woman cannot be married by a Christian man. The reason as to why this law is one-sided has not yet been established. There are however two conditions which need to be met. The first is that the christen woman must be a staunch one. The second one is that it is not supposed to be a Muslim who turns into a Christian.

Appearance is everything. This is what attracts a person to know more about the inside of the other party. Many individuals tend to relax a lot while they are married as they assume that they no longer have to look that presentable. In a world full of many beautiful men and women one ought to always make sure that they look good. Hygiene should always be a priority as dirt will put off the other party and this is the type of behavior that leads to infidelity.

During preparation for marriage, the couples are taught that divorce is not prohibited. This should be the last step that is taken after all forms of reconciliation have failed to work. After this, they usually are then allowed to get married a maximum of two more times. If all this does not work for them in the long run, getting involved in a fourth marriage is not allowed.

In order for marriages to last, it is important for husbands to be fully aware of how they are supposed to treat their significant other. It is good for them to compliment their wives when they do a good job. This helps foster love between the two. On the other hand, it is important for them to find the best means of dealing with their wives when they do wrong without having to include domestic violence.

To sum up the above, despite the many differences that may come about between these marriages and in others, it is still one and the same thing. Individuals are supposed to know that just like any other marriage there is, this is not an easy task at all as a lot of effort and dedication is needed. In other words, commitment is key to keeping the union strong.
