Muslim Marriages - Failure or Success

[T L]

lol women CAN propose. Khadija RA proposed to the prophet (pbuh).
A marriage has more chance of success if the families stop interfering and setting expectations. Expectation will always lead to failure.

Assalam o alaikum all,

I've got an assignment to complete - whether muslims marriages (Arranged) in the modern society are a success or failure - I have to corroborate this with real world data.

It would be great if you could help me out.

Let me know if your had an arranged marriage or love marriage and whether it is successful for you.

If you are still single, what's the biggest reason for that? (lack of proposals, not looking to get married, lack of finances, not old enough, too old... whatever, let me know please)

Thanks.

Oh Farhan, you bumped it!
Back then, when this thread was posted, i was single and I voted 'lack of finances'. But now that i am married (arranged) I would say mine is a failure. :exhausted

There is no difference between arranged marriages and forced marriages . They are pretty much the same

Forced marriage would be getting married to someone you may or may not know against your will.

Arranged marriage would be getting married to someone you may or may not know when you seek to get married.

Two different things if you ask me


I vote for this option:

I like being alone 1 2.94%

There are time where the man or woman is forced to seek out marriage. Now it could be outside forces like family or he or she could be forcing themselves. I think if a man loves a woman, or a man and a man or a woman and a woman, no matter what it ,shouldn't be forced in any way. For the marriage to happen or not.
