Love Marry Allowed in Your Religion....???

I would say the reason there are so few divorces in Islamic countries is because the men just kill there wives for any infraction. So if you are trying to tell me it is better that women be treated as cattle then I would have to disagree with you. The reason for divorces in the west is because women just like men have FREE WILL and practise there freedom, I say it is much better to be free than another's dog.

i won't say its your religion rather than tradition ,and I'm sorry for the way your traditions are in Pakistan, I'm a Muslim and i was not been forced on marring .. i had a choice , some times the parent Focus on what they think what is best for their daughters that they forget what is important .. witch is her approval in this matter and for Evey girl who is been forced to marry she should sit with her dad and talk him .. tell him :-this is not the Islamic way , this is not what the our prophet mohammad said(peace be upon him) .. its very wrong for a father to fores his daughter into Marriage . this is what our prophet said about this matter the Prophet said: "A non-virgin woman may not be married without her command,and a virgin may not be married without her permission;and enough permission for her is to remain silent (because of her natural shyness).'[Al-Bukhaari,Muslim & others] Aa'ishah ,may Allaah be pleased with her (the prophet's daughter) related that she once asked the prophet (peace be upon him) : "in the case of a young girl whose parents marry her off , should her permission be sought or not?" he( peace be upon him )replied : "yes,she must give her permission. She then said "But a virgin would be shy , O messenger of allaah !" he replied :(peace be upon him) "Her silence [ considered as ] her permission . " [Al-Bukhaari,Muslim,& others

My thoughts are Islam has done everything to ensure that women never come out of their burqas and know the world for themselves…they should be born, they should live and they should die as possessions of men and every decision in their lives will have to be taken by the men in their family. it is the perfect religion for propagating patriarchy and it has taken undue advantage of the sweet nature of women and their physical weakness to dominate them for centuries. That is why you will see any region that has Islamic fundamentalism, one of the first things they do is destroy girls’ schools. As per divorce, one of its fundamental reason is that men have not evolved as women have and men to do like to respect women as equal or share all household and other activities with women.

Could you just take the pain to remove the word Islam from the discussion or just inform others that the religion you call Islam is not what Islam is Please stop spreading nonsense if you have any thing to support the point provided above please provide proof 'Qul haatu burhanakum' tell them to produce their proof So please provide a proof I imagine your intention was not to taint the image of islam but to spread awareness but please check before posting

Hi, I am a muslim as well. Usually when you have kids the children are supposed to follow the religion of the father or at least in islam. So if a women marries a non-muslim there a chance her child will be a non-muslim. Also, why would you want ot marry a non-muslim man. They don't know anything about your religion and they don't know all the things that you may need. All the marriages I know where a women has married a non-muslim have ended in divorce or big issues. One being the father won't let his daughters or wife wear hijab or practice islam/pray. Also there is alot of confusion in the children. I am just thinking outloud right now since I have never really thought of this minus the few negative instances I have seen.

I also wanted to add one thing. It is sad that alot of girls marry who there parents suggest but it isn't everyone. I know alot of pakistany girls who married who they wanted without there parents pressure. One of the couples we hang out with all the time chose who they wanted to be with and then told there parents who accepted it. I think marriage shouldn't be pushed on anyone because you are getting married not your parents.

It sound sexist to me. You (your culture) are saying that women are not as smart or intuitive as men and therefore can not make decisions on their own. Yet men can. Give me a break. 20 years from now there may be more divorces in Pakistan because women will get tired of being treated like this and your culture will evolve. Then what? DIvorce was very rare in the US 50 or 60 years ago, as a culture we have evolved and changed.

I'd be curious to know who these men are marrying in their love marriages other than a woman entering the same thing. in my religion, the only TRUE marriage is one between people who truly love each other. after all, you're binding your souls together for this life and lives to come. you'd be unwise to do that without love.

Yes, we do have a high divorce rate in the US, but I'm not sure if it is based solely because of unarranged marriages. I think highly of how Muslim men are commanded to treat their wives, according to the Q'ran, but I'm not in favor of marrying a chosen mate. I chose my first husband unwisely, as I did not know his true nature but that could have occured just as well with an arranged marriage. My second husband is a good husband that I also chose, but I'd not change my marriage to him for the world. I do agree that more men in the US could stand to learn a few lessons on what it means to care for their wives though. Namaste-Anora
