Salaam.
A coincidence that I've already viewed the videos you've linked, sister. I've watched many videos from Imams and Sheikhs regarding marriage. I've gone to local public libraries and have read many books on Islam; focusing on reading the books about Nikkah and marriage but reading and gathering knowledge on Islam as well.
In so many Middle Eastern countries, it seems so many Muslim woman are abused in their marriage by their husband; emotionally and physically. The knowledge I've gained from reading books in the Muslim Sister's perspective is amazing! The authors who are Muslim woman show great insight in their marriage, I've come to learn a lot. I've learned what type of man a Muslim sister wants to settle with, to have children with, to spend time and the rest of their lives with. Inshallah I can become a great Muslim husband desired by my spouse and follow Islamic teachings on Hadiths based from the Prophet (Peace and Blessings be Upon him).
The second video is important. I don't go near fornication, haraam, girlfriend lifestyle, temptations. I have no problem with desires like that. I'm too busy visiting grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and helping them, as well as working many hours... to worry about that sort of haraam life. But I want to stay halal and pure for Allah Subhanahuwatallah. Right now, I am young, have energy, have money and want to settle down. If I cannot reach an agreement with my family to get me married, how long do I have to wait? Maybe getting married in my 30's or 40's doesn't seem like a bad idea.
Yes brother. I'm reading everything you're saying. In fact, I'm reading everything twice. You seem to have great knowledge about this issue. You seem to be from the same culture as me, maybe you're around my age as well. I will watch out for red flags and won't let it get in my way. But why not marry a single mother or someone without a father?
I will be going to Zuhr prayers at the masjid today Inshallah and see what the Imam/mosque can do. Inshallah they may be able to help me.
Oh okay that's fine brother.
A woman without a father lives a family energy only. She have not grown up and saw what it is like interaction between a male and a female and the first class lesson she learns that is from her father and mother. If she says harmony between the two parents and sees how the mother treats the fathers and how the father treats the mother it will be imprinted on her that as a woman this is how she treats a man and in return expect this is how a man should treat a woman. If such treatment is harmonic and following the ways of the prophet peace be upon him you will have a saleh woman, if however such treatment is vile, evil, abusive, controlling, physically and emotionally abusive and manipulative this is how she expects to be treated and this is how she will treat her man. If she only have a mother with no father around and surrounded only by women and have only female energy, she have zero interest in the male energy, she will fight him all the time, she will not listen to him and she will mistreat him. How can she treat him well when she never experienced the male perspective. She will end up to learn how to treat men from either TVs, magazines, radio or even friends she meet who themselves have no idea how to treat a man or let alone went one day and prostrated to Allah (Subhanau Wa Talaa) or even know the rights of a husband and a wife and not to cross such boundaries. You will be opening yourself to a door of huge headache and if you live in Canada that is ever more reason to avoid women who have no fathers in their lives.
This is not like back before in the time of the prophet where a man will protect the woman who have no father by marrying her and protecting her name, honor and dignity. Those days are way long gone my brother. You are no longer the hero with the cape to rescue the princess in distress. This is your chance to build your family, better started correctly while you still have the chance. I am saving you headache and misery in the end it is up to you.
Women who have children whose either their father are dead, divorced or born through IVF where there are no father to begin with. Those are one of the major red flags that you need to know about immediately. Horror stories of men raising other men's children where there are violence between the new man and the child, especially if that child is a boy, or sexual abuse where the child is a girl. Don't open yourself to such problem. Why? Why even risk it? Boys who grow up will eventually not listen to you, will say you are not my father you do not tell me what to do and 99% the mother will back up the boy against you and you have no say, no power and even not the same respect had that child being yours. Huge scientific studies have shown that this does not work.
In the end, you will be used and abused and you are just a bank machine with no rights and power. Why open such door? Why open such headache and drama? Do you want to be in Jerry Springer Show or want to raise a family? You live in Canada, so my advice is designed to protect you. Nowadays as a man you need to think of YOURSELF first, your happiness first before your wife and children. The days where a man sacrifice for his family and is appreciated now is long gone. The days where husbands and fathers are respected are long gone. Turn on a TV and watch and see how they talk about fathers and husbands, so weak, so stupid, so buffoon, so redundant we might as well have a strong,smart, single mother to raise the family alone. She comes out the super hero, the superwoman. If the woman you pick does not inflate your ego, does not put you on top of her head and does not teach the children to respect you and listen to your authorities to and to look up at you...you failed.
The second you find a woman and she says we should work 50/50, we should work as a partner 50/50 no one is better than the other, the idea of husband rights to her is alien and outmoded or mention anything that have similarities to modern Western yap-chat, know if you decide to go through this marriage you have decided to put the husband right into a shredder and you are that man in TV who is an idiot, moron and a buffoon and just unnecessary and know the children will not respect you and you will be questioned in the day of judgment for such picking. She is not going to be blamed! YOU ARE! So you lose the dunaya and akhira.
