Things To Look Out For In A Muslim Marriage

By Walter Olson


The most important thing in this type of ceremony is that both parties participate in by governing this and these vary greatly across communities from all over the world. Most of these are however not all conducted in the mosque and the couple are suppose to remain separate during the wedding and reception time. The following therefore are details 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.

This religion is usually characterized by arranged marriages. This is an indication that the couples are not given the freedom to select the one that they like most. This is at most times done by members of both families. This selection is usually base on the social status and level of education attained by both parties.

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 was the first thing that the couple noticed in each other just due to the fact that they have now become one does not mean that one is supposed to neglect themselves. This is what will make the husband be tempted to cheat on them. Cleanliness should always be at the top of their lit.

Divorce is allowed in this religion. It should however be considered as an option when the couple as tried all they can and heir problems are not only affecting them but also their children. Once one is divorced, they only are allowed to be married gain a maximum of two times and thats it.

Husbands ought to know how to treat their wives so that their marriage may last for a long time. They always are supposed to compliment them when they do a good job and in the event that they go wrong, they are required to correct them in a calm manner. It should be done with a lot of love and they are required to remember the vows they made to each other and stay true to them.

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.
