Whats your opinion on arranged marriage?

read the hadith; beauty should not be a part of the game

Sis, I can see where ricardo_sousa is coming from. E.g. When u wake up every morning, most likely u will see the face of ur partner, so this should be appealing/satisfying, get me?

read the hadith; beauty should not be a part of the game

I am sorry, but that is direct contradiction of the words of the Prophet Muhammad. He clearly says that beauty should be considered when decided to marry a woman. Not the most important thing, but an important aspect. my interpretation...

Load of *edited*. :-\ What happens 'suddenly' is attraction and lust, which leads to major things. :-\

No as I said; I pass by many very attractive woman every day but I do not fall in love with them!

 

[ayesha309]

Let me rewrite the Hadith

"'A woman is married for four things, i.e., her wealth, her family
status, her beauty, and her religion. So you should marry the religious woman [otherwise] you will be a loser.'"

I don't want to start another argument or anything; but according to me this hadith is clearly stating that if you marry a woman for beauty you will be the looser; so the Prophet SAW is telling you NOT to consider beauty, rather to consider her religious practices and knowledge. and ofcourse Allah knows best

so if I say:

wealth is accumulated by stealing, robbing and working; so you should get a job or you will be a looser.

does that mean, using your formula, stealing robbing and working are being recommended by me?

What we should do:
So you should marry the religious woman [otherwise] you will be a loser.'"

I think the hadeeth means that wealth, family status, beauty, and religion are the main reasons why women are married. Religion should precede the others in importance. Not to say that the others aren't important, but to get men's priorities right. (God knows they need it... ;])

too many "muhadiths" are going to descend on this thread before long, perhaps Br. seeker_of_ilm should consider the alternative to leaving it open

ricardo had mutilated the hadith to win a point by leaving out the command part and trying to convince us that the description of [SIZE=-1]prevalent[/SIZE] practice is the actual hadith and command

Conclusion: Arraigned Marriage= Acceptable

Forced Marriage=Not Acceptable



Nothing else needs to be added except for arguments to satisfy the desires to argue.

Enough said.
