Ok, here i go....I want to get married and have a family, but I am only 17 years old and my mom is like "wait until you've finished college" and she even said I couldnt move out of the house until i had my degree. I am trying my best to wait and be patient, but Im not sure how long I can wait. I want to have companionship, someone to talk to. How do I tell my ummi what I want, when she's set on me getting married in like 4-5 yrs?
i know plenty of brothers who married early, but that is probably because loads of the families around me are pathans and they seem to push this sunnah more than others.
was once sitting in a friends front room chatting and was talking about his neice and nephew who were 13 and 15 i think.
anyway, when he mentioned this it made something click because i knew his brother was only 30 so you do the maths yourselves!
it is kept quiet because of legal reasons but yes, if my future children wish to marry after they have passed the start of puberty then insha'allah will find them a pious partner they like and if still at school then they can live with me and the mrs.
a few 'young' couples i know have an arrangement where they live with one family during the week whilst going to school and then at the weekend stop with the other family and that seems to work well.
the other lesser option is to do the nikkah, but not move in but i say this is the lesser option because although you could spend time with that person then you still never really get to know someone until you have lived with them or travelled with them and you need to get to know your spouse 'worts and all.' i.e good and bad.
for those who say what if they grow appart?
well surely being married to someone, spending your time together in pleasing Allah will if there are changes make them grow closer together?

asalamualaikum sis........ u shud really think b4 takin the biggest step of ur life....... marriage isnt just support.... its the first step to compromise and alot of responsibilities..... ur mom's right on my account.... shes been through the stage and knows how life is..... do not make haste in this decision but first think maturely and with a cool mind........ will u be able to take it? after education....(God forbid) if n e thing bad happens at least u will be able to support ur children and yourself...... yet i mite be wrong
Try an istikhara....... but keep in mynd that wutever the result is....... u have 2 follow it......... PEACE BE UPON U!
Tell her that you want to get married in an instant and will not listen to a word. Give her a dead line. If he agrees, great! if she dosen't. Give her another dead line. Keep repeating the process untill she agrees.

ERM why get married wen u can still be YOUNG FREE SINGLE
maybe because she loves Allah and his messenger and wishes to follow the command of Rasoolullah (saws) by marrying young?
Yes, I do love Allah and His messenger(PBUH) and I want to do the right thing by getting married soon or considering it soon. And also marriage is a beautiful thing to me, i know it wont be all peachy but everything has its ups and downs, no? Being single kinda stinks for me...ever heard the saying 'single and ready to mingle'? Im single but dont wanna mingle with the haram. I desire a husband for many reasons, the main being to please Allah and because i feel that I am ready, mentally...but anyways, im still debating
Sis have patience and keep speaking to your parents. But if you feel it's something you really want to do, they can't make you wait.
:eek: really? But then the thought of marryin when theres soo many other troubles which aint been settled not to mention other brothers/sisters in the que gets in the way, and then its bak to fasting and coping... some people have too many obstacles May Allah help them!!

I think I'm from a different planet for most people seem to enjoy painting the picture of marriage as one of saddness, pain, difficulty, backwardness and well, I don't know what else.
If indeed they are not of the Muslim faith, let them then refute the below verse.
(And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your [hearts] . . . (Qur’aan 30:21)
If Allah thought that marriage was going to restrict you from reaching goals like studying or working, he would have said that we should only consider marriage when we're done studying or when we're 21, 25 or a burden in our parent's homes.
Someone said to the Prophet, "Pray to God against the idolaters and curse them." The Prophet replied, "I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse." (Muslim)
