Contents How to Choose a Spouse in Islam An Amazing Story Islamic and Humane Conditions in Choosing a Spouse How to Choose a Spouse in Islam The approach to choosing a spouse is much different in the angelic spirit of Islam when compared to those religions or schools of thought which have become void of the spirit of revelations. Islam does not allow a believing Muslim man to choose any woman as his wife. Neither does it allow a believing Muslim woman to choose any man as her husband.

This is so because there are certain things to be considered in marriage, such as their well-being and prosperity in this world and the Hereafter; immunity from corruption and Satanic plans. As viewed in Islam, marriage is not just based on lust, carnal desires, and material gains. The goal of Islam on marriage is to maintain people’s beliefs; build a divine home; raise good children, and seek God’s pleasure.

It is in this framework that all that is involved; the marriage itself; maintaining a spouse; loving a legitimate spouse; having sex as much as either side requires; respecting each other’s rights; bearing children; raising them; carrying out the necessary duties such as working to provide for the housing, food and clothing of the wife and the children are all considered to be a worship of God and each step taken in this regard will have a great heavenly reward.

It is in this context that one can understand why Islam insists on finding a well-matched spouse. We are forced to humbly accept Islam’s divine conditions for marriage since marriage without regard for these conditions will end up in a life full of sedition. The house will be filled with torture and suffering; pain and agony; sadness and sorrow. Such a life might end up in separation and divorce with its ever-lasting bad feelings.

It may even end up in insanity or suicide if one party is not strong enough. Avoid associating or marrying a woman who has not attained intellectual development through studying; and has not helped herself reach perfection by attaining piety, faith and morality.
