In a piece for Prothom Alo, Rajbari teacher Saki Mahbub presents love as a blessing from Allah and names marriage, avoiding sin and staying within the limits Allah has set as the ways to honour it.
IslamAn Ittefaq piece on Islamic law says a marriage is not void because the groom deals in riba, but avoiding one who knowingly persists in it is the prudent choice; a repentant groom may be considered, and the daughter's consent is essential.
IslamMost jurists hold that concluding a marriage in a mosque is mustahab because it makes the marriage public, but not every marriage in the Prophet's time took place in a mosque, so it is not obligatory.
IslamScholars suggest heartfelt dua, the supplication of Surah Al-Furqan verse 74 and voluntary prayer for those whose marriage is delayed, while stressing that the Quran and hadith promise no quick result from any practice and that lawful effort is also needed.
Hadith in Sahih Bukhari and Ibn Majah say a woman may not be married without her consent; Ibn Taymiyyah and Shaykh Ahmadullah hold that parents have no right to force an adult child into marriage.
IslamIn Islam a marriage is made by offer and acceptance (ijab and qabul) before witnesses; a couple presenting themselves publicly as married is no substitute for the contract, Ittefaq explains citing the jurists.
IslamIn Islam marriage is not only a social custom but part of a life lived by the Sunnah; the Quran and hadith speak of the peace, love, chastity, mutual support and righteous children it brings.
IslamIslam treats marriage as more than a social bond: the Quran calls the marital bond one of tranquillity, love and mercy, and a hadith urges young people who can afford it to marry.
