Marriage rights
all,

Nikah is an Arabic term used for marriage. It means "contract".
('Aqd in Arabic). The Quran specifically refers to marriage
as "mithaqun Ghalithun" which means "a strong agreement".
"and they have taken a strong pledge (Mithaqun Ghalithun) from you?"
(Quran 4:21)
The seriousness of this covenant becomes very obvious when one finds
the same term i.e. Mithaqun Ghalithun, being used for the agreement
made between Allah and the Prophet before granting them the
responsibility of the Prophethood. (Quran 33:7)
The Quran also uses the Arabic word "Hisn", suggesting "fortress"
for marriage. Marriage is considered the fortress of chastity.
The basic objectives of marriage in Islam are, first, securing a
comfortable atmosphere for a husband and wife and, second, producing
a new generation of healthy, faithful and virtuous children.
Allah says in The Holy Quran:
"Marry those among you who are single and (marry) your slaves, male
and female, that are righteous" (Quran 24:32)
"One of His signs is that He created for you spouses of your own
species, so that you might find comfort with them. And He put mutual
love and affection in your hearts. Surely in this there are lessons
for the thinking people" (30:21)
"He is the Creator of the heavens and the each. He has given you
partners from among yourselves and, similarly, made the cattle also
males and females. That is how he multiplies you. Nothing can be
compared to Him, He is the All-hearing, the All-seeing." (43:11)
"And Allah has made for you your mates of your own nature, and made
for you, out of them, sons and daughters and grandchildren, and
provided for you sustenance of the best." (16:72)
"Provide for them, the rich according to his income and the poor
according to his means, the provision according to the custom, this
is an obligation for those who act kindly" (2:236).
"Treat them politely for even if you dislike them, perhaps you
dislike something which God has placed much good" (4:19).
"They are your garments and you are their garments" (2:187).
"Men are protector of women because God has made them excel over the
other, and because they spend their property on women, so good women
are obedient (to their husband) and guard their modesty. As for whom
you fear rebellion, admonish them, and then banish them from your
bed (i.e., do not sleep with them), or beat them (lightly). If they
obey you, then seek not a way against them, God is ever High and
Exalted" (4:34)
"And give to the women (whom you marry) their Mahr (obligatory
bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the time of
marriage) with a good heart" [al-Nisaa' 4:4]
"but the father of the child shall bear the cost of the mother's
food and clothing on a reasonable basis" [al-Baqarah 2:233]
"Lodge them (the divorced women) where you dwell, according to your
means" [al-Talaaq 65:6]
"Let the rich man spend according to his means; and the man whose
resources are restricted, let him spend according to what Allaah has
given him" [al-Talaaq 65:7]
"and live with them honourably" [al-Nisaa' 4:19]
"And they (women) have rights (over their husbands as regards
living expenses) similar (to those of their husbands) over them (as
regards obedience and respect) to what is reasonable, but men have a
degree (of responsibility) over them [al-Baqarah 2:228]
"O you who believe! Ward off yourselves and your families against a
Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones" [al-Tahreem 66:6]
"Believers, men and women, are protectors of one another They enjoin
what is just and forbid what is evil. They observe regular prayer
and practice regular charity, obey God and His messenger, and on
them God will pour His mercy, for God is exalted in power and right.
God has promised to believers, men and women, gardens under which we
were supposed to dwell therein, beautiful mansions and garden of
everlasting bliss, for the greatest bliss is the pleasure of God,
that is the supreme" (9:71).
