Marriage.

Let’s not stick to the cultural teachings which oppose the ease of Islam.

Culture is demanding and complicated whereas Islam is simple and lessens your burdens rather than increasing them.

A cultural wedding may include a hotel booked for the mayun, the mehndi, the dholki’s, the bachelor/bachelorette party the nikkah, the wedding reception and the valima. They may require you to spend generously on your clothes and jewellery for every occasion. It will demand you to serve luxurious food for all of your guests. Because of culture, the groom must be of a certain degree, with a certain valued estate with a certain valued vehicle and must be able to shower gifts on not just the bride but also her immediate and extended family. Don’t forget the DJ that has to be at the wedding. Culture pressurizes you to keep your image and status maintained in your society, for the people. Culture requires you to drown yourself into debt to pay off the bride’s mahr. The list goes on…

Islam is easy. For a young man who is read to be able to support himself and his wife, and provide for the both of them, it is prescribed to them to get married. Simple. Go to the masjid, get a nikkah done, go home. Provide a valima the next day with whatever available easily to your guests. That’s it. It doesn’t burden the groom with unnecessary expenses eventually leading him to get agitated by the idea of marriage, nor does it burden the bride’s parents by putting them in debt for the sake of their reputation. Islam shows you the importance of elevating your status in front of Allah rather than people. What could be more beautiful than that?

Would a marriage beginning with acts of disobedience be more blessed or the one for the sake of Allah swt carried out in the way He prescribed?
