I totally agree with the concept of premarital counseling. These issues which you talked about are real and need to be resolved, but don’t you think that we can also avail these ‘services’ from the wise people in the family, or the “Shaykh” with whom you are at ease?

Or should we go for the professional and pay as well?

In the 5th paragraph down, you mention that “The only requirement is that both families agree to the dowry offered. ” I was not aware that the families had any involvement with the dowry. Please clarify, as I believe the dowry is strictly between the potential groom and bride.

in these days human mind set is that “if you have money then you can have every thing” but the truth is far apart from this. parents want to marriage their daughters with a rich man. very good message conveyed by this article good effort made by author appreciate your effort good concept discussed by author may Allah give you more time to clear more concepts like this. May Allah give you more strength to write articles like this article has got a place in my heart. in these days Muslims has gone away from the true teachings of Islam. the authors like you can play a good role to create a society which would be based on the true teachings of Islam. i really appreciate you

Great article about marriage and money both are run by sie by side.I red the article about marriage in china so interesting article about marriage, the ration of man and woman in china is quite unbalance.Girls ration is low and men ration is high so a man want to marry some one then he faces lot of demands by a woman.so he make more efforts to earn a lot of money to fulfill the demands of women or her perents.But in Islam Money is secondary issue but if u get marry a girl you should choose her character not choose dowry that how much she bring dowry with her.on other side if woman want to marry some one she must choose his character not wealth…

Hmm.. I am one of those women who, due to my education and social standing, would have absolutely been justified in the eyes of my society if I were to demand a high dowry. But I didn’t. And I didn’t have a lavish reception either. For the sake of Allah.

While my marriage did not work out for unrelated reasons, I do sometimes wonder whether a man takes a woman for granted and doesn’t realise he doesn’t try as hard as he ought and have promised, if she helps out in the marriage and doesn’t make it difficult for him to marry her. Perhaps men need to suffer a little to get a woman, to realise that actually marriage takes a lot of work from a man, a lot of responsibility to prepare for, a change from his previous life, and he better find fulfilment in that challenge or not marry.

If I find a new husband, I will certainly seriously consider not helping as much, at least prior to the marriage, and will certainly only consider a man who has shown clear evidence of feeling fulfilled by having responsibility and caring for others.
