Why i find my self hesitant when i think of getting married to a divorced or widowed? right now im a bachelor anyway.
secondly, iv seen muslim women not able to get married mostly in some north african countries, iv seen some women aged 35-40 still single and wants to get married but dont find anyone?, i personnel feel its because of the men/women ratio and apart from that i see for a muslim women its becomes so difficult if she is divorced or widowed that she cant find a husband?
This was not the case with sahabah they would marry a divorcee or widow
divorce is considered almost evil and despised, however in sahaba's time the ratio of divorce was quite high as they would see marriage being a relatationship of two soul.... if u understand what i mean
your thoughts
Salaam alaikum
Of course not, I wouldn't mind at all I would actually rather do that then marry a virgin as I know how hard life is for these women as my mother is like the women you described and it has made me want to marry such a woman and take care of her.
divorced women have such hard lifes and a really tough time when it comes to getting married again imsad the reason why there's so many divoced single women is cos in certain cultures there's a stigma attached to divorced women and when a marriage fails they all ways look at the woman as the reason.
such women can only ever get married to a divorced man in some cultures cos they see a person who isn't divorced as being too good for a divorced person. :hmm:
that's an interesting question, are people who have never been married too good for divorced people? I don't think so however certain cultures seem to think so to the point where if a divorced person marries someone who has never been married they all get a shock.
