marriage it comes with BIG responsibility. because once you get married at the same time you're marrying her/his family as well.

that might be one of the reasons why others don't like to get married.

Thank you and Best wishes

some hate i bec they dont want commitment.......but to some its a blessing to meet someone who is willing to spend the rest of his/her life with you. and is willing to compromise everything for the sake of marriage

Men are allergic to marriage :)

Responsibilities that comes along with it scares them :)

...listen to the sound of silence....

If the two years passed then every thing will be ok for the rest of our life hopefully.

contract with expiration 6months probation period then have it evaluated if your gonna renew it or not.......

THOSE PEOPLE SUFFERED MORE PAIN ABOUT MARRIAGE LIFE DONT STOP LOVING..DONT CLOSE OUR DOOR,OPEN IT TO EVERYONE WHO COMING. ENJOY LIFE THAT GOD GIVE TO US..

MAYBE THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY OR SOMEONE...WAITING FOR YOU...

SUCCESSFUL MARIAGE HAPPEN WITH IN A YEAR 1 TO 4 YEARS MAYBE..

AFTER 4 YEARS ONWARDS LET US OBSERVE IT.THERE ARE SOME CHANGES HAPPENED.AND DONNOT ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN DO MOVES FOR THAT TO MAINTAIN YOUR MARRIED LIFE SUCCESSFUL.

THOSE MARRIED PERSON OUT THERE WHO SURVIVED FOR IT CONGRATS!

Why some hate it?

simply because..

- no plan for this

-they got married for the sake of ....in a wrong way..

-anyone committed to somebody else

-after all what you did to partners heartache or maybe hurtache,pain etc..

sometime life so crazy because why so many people out there suffered like this situation that they never ever wish to happen.

marriage is one of our sacrament i think in the catholic relegion...very easy to make decission but..when it comes to riality is very hard ,...why?simply because

-everyone decided to get married because they love each other.

-they are in the right ages to have a family.

-never lost their loveone anymore.real love comes in the right time.

Marriage is a boat which takes you over a sea of happiness when there are no storms.

marriage is just like starting a new company with two partners....they sign a partnership deal and invest in it...with a lot of dreams to be respected and to reach high in the society.but if one of the partners is screwing things up,it's best for the other partner to either kick the other fella out or to pack bags and leave.i hate the emotional and sentimental tag that people attach to marriage.c'mon guys...it's like 2 ppl agreeing to stay together.

Going to church no more makes you a Christian than standing in a garage makes you a car. ~ Garrison Keillor

...as married people probably want to expect after time.

But who cares? :-)

I'm single but I don't hate marriage...and praying I'll get there rather than ending up in priesthood.

And how I read your thread and your comments, Khalid...

...yep! Same old Khalid with the mentality of being 'disrespected' for having another mate in the sauna gone naked. LOL

"Everything in this book may be wrong." Illusions: The Adventures of The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach

i know many things about marriage but after reading your comments guys, i am now confused.

marriage in a real sense of the meaning of the word is not only good but great. marriage to me is a mystery, you will marry a woman you dont know much and you will build family all in the name of love. it is really great.

we cannot deny the fact that their are problems along the way though.

progress

When you get old no one will be with you except your partner (if you keep good relation with your partner), second, It is strange to hear that marriages are done by Contract, under what cluse??? if the marriages are continue by contract no one will continue with same partner, marriage means you are accepting others as your half part and can love each other, can share your happiness/problems, once you have kids the relations comes more and more closer, your kids needs mother and father, if you are true loving man you cant live without kids and partner. You can not examine your partner by signing the marriage contract. Getting a good, loving and sincere partner is more than you get a lottery.

If this certificate will ensure any one to live for ever with his sole mate, then aren't we going to run after this certificate?

ummjake you are very good educated person and many respect you but really people will respect you more if five to six reasons why those who get married have a miser life after marriage?

Men especially.

I know of many people who had perfectly great relationships that lasted for years, and the moment they got married, it all went downhill...and they were divorced within a few years.

If it ain't broke...

Khalid, clearly you need that piece of paper to justify a relationship, and that's great for you. But many other people are fine simply being with the person they've chosen as their companion. They are quite happy living together, raising a family with that person, buying a house, co-mingling their finances...everything short of signing a marriage contract. And if that works for them, then more power to them.

To each his own.

"If you're looking for sympathy, you'll find it between sh*t and syphilis in the dictionary."

- David Sedaris

being a slave gives me all my rights.

Is a Muslim woman considered a slave?

No she is not considered as a slave.

NOTE: This is distinct from her other rights regarding living expenditures, housing, clothing, and education of children. And from Allah comes all success.

1. The first and worthiest condition of marriage to be fulfilled by the husband is to "keep the promise or promises he made to the wife at the time he married her." This is an order of the Prophet [salla Allahu `alayhi wa alihi wa sallam, abbr. (s)] according to the hadith: "ahaqqu al-shuruti an tufu bihi ma astahlaltum bihi min al-furuj"

2. He cannot order her to do anything that is against religion. The Prophet (s) said: "No obedience is due to creatures in disobedience of the Creator" (la ta`atan li makhluqin fi ma`siyat al-khaliq).

3. He must exercise patience and be prepared to listen to her advice in every situation. The Prophet (s) listened to the advice of his wives in matters ranging from the smallest to the greatest.

4. If she invites him to wake up and perform the late night prayer, it is praiseworthy for him to do so and vice-versa. The Prophet (s) prayed for such people: "May Allah grant mercy to a man who gets up at night and prays, and wakes up his wife, and if she refuses, he sprinkles water in her face; may Allah grant mercy to a woman who gets up at night and prays, and wakes up her husband, and if he refuses, she sprinkles water in his face."

5. He must respect her and pay attention to her needs so that she will respect him and pay attention to his.

6. He must control his passions and act in a moderate manner especially in the context of sexual intercourse. Remember that Allah has placed between you and her "friendship and mercy" (mawadda wa rahma), not the gratification of your every lust; and that the Prophet (s) advised young men to marry "because it casts down the gaze and walls up the genitals," not in order to stimulate sexual passions. The husband should habitually seek refuge in Allah before approaching his wife and say: "O Allah, ward off the satan from us and ward him off from what you have bestowed upon us in the way of children" (allahumma jannibna al-shaytana wa jannibhu ma razaqtana). Allah has called each spouse a garment for the other (2:187), and the purpose of garments is decency. The Prophet (s) further said that he who marries for the sake of decency and modesty (`afaf), Allah has enjoined upon Himself to help him.

7. He must never ever divulge the secrets of the household and those of the married couple.

8. He must strive with sincerity to acquire her trust, and seek her welfare in all the actions that pertain to her.

9. He must treat her generously at all times. The Prophet (s) said that the best gift or charity (sadaqa) is that spent on one's wife.

10. If she works outside the house, it is praiseworthy for the husband to hire house help to relieve her from too heavy a burden. The wife's duties do not require her to feed her child, nor even to nurse it, nor to clean nor cook. It is the husband's duty to provide a nursemaid, food for older children, and servants to clean and cook. However, if the wife does those things out of mercy and love, it is a gift to the husband on her part.

11. He must avoid excessive jealousy and remember that Allah is also jealous that he himself not commit. The Prophet (s) said: "Do not be excessively jealous of your wife lest evil be hurled at her on your account" (la tukthir al-gheerata `ala ahlika fa turama bi al-su'i min ajlik) and he said: "Allah is jealous and the believer is jealous; and Allah's jealousy is that the believer should not go to that which Allah has forbidden for him" (inna Allaha yagharu wa al- mu'minu yagharu wa gheerat Allahi in ya'tiya al-mu'minu ma harrama `alayhi).

12. He must protect her honor and not place her in situations where it is compromised or belittled. The Prophet (s) said that Allah will not ever let him enter Paradise who cares little who shares his wife's privacy. This includes the husband's brother, uncle, and nephew, let alone non-related friends, neighbors, and complete strangers.

13. He must exercise patience and forgiveness in the case of disagreement or dispute, and not rush to divorce. The declaration of divorce is a grave matter indeed, and the Prophet (s) said: "Of permitted matters the most loathesome before Allah is divorce" (abgh`ad al-halal `ind Allah al-talaq). In another hadith he said that divorce is so grave that because of it Allah's throne is made to shake. He said: "The best intercession [i.e. intervention of a third party] is that which brings back together the husband and the wife." Womanizing -- divorce for the purpose of marrying another woman out of sexual attraction incurs Allah's curse according to the hadith: "Allah's curse is on the womanizing, divorcing man" (la`ana Allahu kulla dhawwaaqin mutallaaq). Finally, even in the midst of and after divorce, Allah has prescribed kindness upon the man: "(After pronouncing divorce) she must be retained in honor or released in kindness" (2:228).

For the above-mentioned reason (i.e. to prevent the quickness of divorce), in his time, Ibn Taymiyya gave the ijtihad (juridical opinion) by saying that three talaqs in one sitting constituted only one. He did this to interdict the prevalent custom of suddenly giving three talaqs, which in his time was on everyone's lips, (i.e. had become so commonplace as to be a habit). However the other four schools of fiqh had the opposite opinion in this matter.

14. He must not dwell on what he dislikes in his wife, but on what he likes.

15. The husband is not to stay away from his wife or keep his wife in a state of suspense, whether at home or abroad, for a protracted period of time except with her consent. Allah said: "Turn not away (from your wife) altogether, so as to leave her hanging. If you come to a friendly understanding and practice self-restraint, then Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Merciful" (4:129). Protracted separation (6 months or more in the Shafi`i school) without prior or subsequent arrangement with the wife, whether the husband is away willingly or unwillingly (for example due to war, imprisonment, or illness) is sufficient grounds for her to obtain divorce from the judge.

16. The Prophet (s) said: "Do not beat your wife." He also said: "Do not strike your wife in the face." The expiation for striking one's slave in the face is to set him or her free on the spot, but what expiation is there for striking one's wife? The Prophet (s) condemned the man who beats his wife in the day and then approaches her at night. And to beat her to the extent of inflicting serious injury is enough grounds for her to obtain divorce from the judge.

17. Caring for one's wife's sexual fulfillment is an obligation of religion. The Prophet (s) warned against rushing to gratify one's pleasure and forgetting that of one's wife. He also disliked that the husband should quickly withdraw from his wife afterwards, as it is a strain upon the wife. If she asks for intercourse, he should not refuse.

One final piece of advice...

"agent provocateur"

Good luck :O)

although i did not read anything like they were happily married or they were like in paradise after the marriage. Us women we believe in the sanctity of marriage but it doesn't mean that marriage life is paradise in itself...there were always ups and downs! But the best part ofcorz is how you will work out with it to have a good marriage in the best way possible!

well at the end of the day,i guess it all depends on the individuals involved and how much they are willing to give to the relationship :-/

Brit Expat, have you made it your task to teach Saggi the "adventurous" side of marriage? Leave it to her hubby to "educate" her.

HAppy Anniversary Someonenew ! !

Agree with some1new & FS. Was on my own for sometime, but found it too boring. Ya, we can have our friends, party all night long, but at the end of the day we are still single & lonely.

Marriage is great. Coming home to someone who loves me, knowing that whatever happens he's there to hold my hand, laugh with me, cry with me. With him I can be myself, warts and all. Thats a special feeling...I have to just reach out my hand and this warm person is there beside me. It's so much better than having a boyfriend. Experienced both sides & I tell you being married is way better.

Thanks britexpat.

In most parts of the world Khalid there's not such thing as legal and illegal relationships. Relationships are simply relationships.

It is well know that marriage is a leagal relation ship in most countries around the world.

If some one is born after his maother and father getting married then it is clear that he had came through legal relation ship, if he came before his father and mother getting married then he had came by illegal relation ship.

Happy Anniversary. May your day be joyous and may you life together be full of happiness and contentment.

funny about this thread! i never read the post by khalid, though i enjoyed the rest of readings:)

we are now defining marriage? ok IMHO, marriage is a choice that starts with strong inner feeling of one person to build a small world of his/her own, thenceforth, just typical life stupid surprises.

Yalla!

I agree with someonenew.... Happy Anniversary dear!!

I am loving every moment of it...got married very early:) I had so many restrictions before marriage...got a total carefree life after that and had my son after almost 4 yrs of marriage...so those yrs were most memorable..he was more like a bf than a hubby:)...then came the lil brat and I was all prepared to play the mother role...No regrets at all...

Snessy...lolz

Britexpat is a true blue male only a little sensitive sometimes:)

"Ali Baba and 40 thieves" are now "Ali Baba and 30 thieves" ; 10 were laid off.

i see that only the women say that they r happy with marriage unlike men (ex. alfredg). Marriage is like a prison for men and for women its a paradise :D

please also accept my correction

What I want to say is why some people do not like marriage.

I support marriage because:

1. It shows commetment

2. It is normal path for man and woman life who wants stability and establish a family which will help the country community by raising good children

3. It fills the empty part in our lives.

Happy Anniversary Someonenew!!!!

Saggi I was on my own from after High School. I kinda figured u were staying with ur parents hence u didnt actually get to do the independant woman thing which is just exciting till a pipe in ur house breaks in the middle of the night or u slip and fall in the bathroom :)

"Ali Baba and 40 thieves" are now "Ali Baba and 30 thieves" ; 10 were laid off.

I was forced to marry her, and now where separated after 2 yrs of marriage. wrong reason for marriage

at the end of the day it is what make us all COMPLETE as a person as human beings and without this so called "MARRIAGE" do you think pipol you are here right now reading this post???? Or it means your mother and father are not married, or whatever.....

PEOPLE out there who dont want to get married or NEVER they will get married I am sure when they grow old and they were alone there will always be EMPTINESS inside them...

And Khalid....there is no such thing as HATE to be married! AFRAID yes or just they dont like it at all because they see their friends or relatives or a person near them that their marriage are not successful so why they will get married themselves....

ooohhh..what a long answer ;p

Happy Anniversary Someonenew

There's a big difference between Boyfriends & girlfriends & husbands and wives rms.

Do you really think these single women doesn't have a companionship or someone to fight or making up.. ?

Married guys calls them Hubby/Wife, Singles calls them .. BF's or GF's.. Right Olive?

*Exceptions there!

Marriage is good, I like being married. If your single and stay on your own, u'll kinda get the loneliness thing. I like having someone else other than me at home, I like companionship, I like coming home to somebody, waking up to somebody, goign for a holiday, making up after a fight, its fun and I think everyone should experience it.

"Ali Baba and 40 thieves" are now "Ali Baba and 30 thieves" ; 10 were laid off.

Well said !

My 3 reasons for being married (it's not a contract)...

1. choice

2. choice

3. choice

Lebaneseman, Muslim men can take 2nd, 3rd and 4th wives without the permission of their 1st wife. In a divorce they automatically get the children, in Qatar and many other Muslim countries women cannot travel alone without their husbands or fathers permission, Muslim women can't marry anyone other then Muslim men, but Muslim men can marry Jews & Christians. Women are granted a lesser percentage of inheritances, etc etc etc etc so on and so forth. Therefore I stand by my statement that if I was a Muslim woman I would never get married, it's too slanted in favour of the man.

Olive .I wanted to show u that Abuse happens everywhere and anytime .The abuse of women in islamic world (which is nothing compared to the abuse of women in non islamic countries) contradicts with the basis of Islam.

What does a case of abuse have to do with how the West views marriage? Do you think abuse doesn't happen here? Try for a better example Lebaneseman.

Svelte, that's too bad. Society puts far too much pressure on women to get married young, when personally I don't think any woman should get married before she's 30 (granted I'll be getting married 6 months before my 30th birthday LOL!) People need to live their lives and discover who they are.

its just a piece of paper that can be shredded anytime when it get obsolete or useless

thaz the problem with the society i was raised in.i had to literally fight off people who used to bombard my folks with queries as to WHY i'm still single.damn!they expected me to settle down the day after i graduated! :-O

Going to church no more makes you a Christian than standing in a garage makes you a car. ~ Garrison Keillor

Olive and how about : how westerns treat their women? of course u heard of that man (in Austria) who raped his daughter?

Boston, when i was tlaking about marriage i was referering to what Islam says about it.

grrrrrr!that was meant to be figurative!

Going to church no more makes you a Christian than standing in a garage makes you a car. ~ Garrison Keillor

Only 5 years!!!!! No wonder. Try 10, then you might feel more ready. :) I can't imagine myself married five years ago!

as they say,you never realise the true value of something until you lose it one day.i took my singlehood for granted....and now that i have lost it,i miss it so much :-(

Going to church no more makes you a Christian than standing in a garage makes you a car. ~ Garrison Keillor

Shackles are good, but why don't you start with just a whip and some latex and then progress slowly ?

I am starting to get tired of living carefree.. Am I getting old, should I start reading the contract :-/

i shared your views too,olive.and spent a good five years after my graduation before settling down for marriage.now that i finally did it,i long for my single and carefree life once again.right now,i'm feeling like being in shackles for the first time in my life :-S

Going to church no more makes you a Christian than standing in a garage makes you a car. ~ Garrison Keillor

You are looking at it as purely black and white. As Olive said, marriage is another step forward (for many) in their lives. Now you have a partner to share your life with. This ofcourse requires "compromise" on both sides.

It's all ritualized humbug!

svelte, I think bachelorhood fits a particular time in one's life. Personally I think people should make the most of their single years and enjoy it! I know to many people who married too young and never got to do a lot of the stuff that I took for granted in my single years. Now I look back and I don't regret 2 seconds of it but I don't want to do it anymore and that's why I'm looking forward to marriage.

Lebaneseman, I don't know what the mosque would have to do with my marriage? It's my marriage, right? I don't need anybody except the one who marries me!

when one gets married,one is expected to grow up and become all responsible and stuff.and one can't do anything without taking the other person's likings/feelings into consideration.ugh!too much of a bother really.....i repeat,bachelorhood is beautiful!

Going to church no more makes you a Christian than standing in a garage makes you a car. ~ Garrison Keillor

LOL Brit, maybe off-white ;-)

Lebaneseman I've been here long enough and know enough muslim women to have a damned good basis for my opinion on how Muslim men treat their wives.

is not a commitment a contract?

Don't go down that route with Pajju..

"Me owns me" allows him to do unmentionable things to himself ..

Boston, if u want more info go to "Fanar" and ask them or go to the nearest mosque.

Olive, what is obvious that you are shallow and ur offending muslim/arabic women. u dont deserve any discussion.

You actually intend to wear white ???? :O)

Hopeless romantic, happy!

I thought you were selling yourself, pajju. Did nobody buy you?

Signing a contract for what??...for the services rendered to each other... lol...

As Boston said...at the start of such an important journey of life where the two commit to be there for each other in thick and thin, you want to set the ground rules...how much time such relationship will last is anybodys guess...

________________________________________

One life to live, live it to the fullest.

........

The question is, who "owns" who? Lobot.

Boston the answer is me owns me :)

Shhhh Boston don't tell everyone!!!!

Brit I don't know about cupid but shotgun may do the trick ;)

Of course, Lebaneseman, it's injust from the beginning!

Yes I do Lebaneseman, it's obvious everywhere you look.

Olive, and do u think in Islam tha man owns his wife ?

Boston , my friend, there is nothing called dividing of propert or money or... . The woman will get an X ammount of money, land or propert, etc upon divorce.

A Marriage contract means a man 'OWNS' his wife? Who told you that Olive?

---------------------------------------------------

I don't want a Signature line to prove that I'm great !!

I'm getting married because we want to make the ceremonial declaration of commitment, I want a pretty white dress and a party, and we want to live together and have kids in this country without being deported.

If we were back in Canada we probably wouldn't be jumping in so quickly, as we could live together and have kids without breaking any laws.

Frankly, the "contract" idea is what I hate the most. Especially since there's so many outdated ideas that a marriage contract means the man OWNS his wife. If I were Muslim I'd never get married, but thankfully I'm not religious and therefore we don't have any of these religious burdens and ideas about ownership or duty to weigh down on the marriage.

Yeah, it's a consideration of what to do when they separate. What a lovely way to start!

I think he took the translation of the word "3aqd" in arabic which means "contract". Its not a contract rather than an agreement (on the "mahr" and her rights upon divorce). They sign a certificate.he also didnot mean "hate" marriage. come on all of you pple know what he means.

Back to Khalid Question :

I am one of the pple who are afraid of the commitments of marriage,consisting a family,routine life (and for all those are married dont tell me ur not bored),i hate being asked: where were u? why r u late? who r ur friends ? etc....

maybe its just me

I am sure (as britexp said) that cupid will fire his arrow :D

Don't know, brit. Maybe my wife does.

o you have a signed paper for your marriage ? :O)

People who sign a marriage contract on their wedding day are already considering divorce as a possibility. Why would they be worried about who gets what? This should not be a consideration when you decide to stay together!

I have no contract, but i have certificate.

__________________________________________________

The one who stays calm is the one who is in control

I have heard many a brave man say this. Then suddenly, Cupid fires his arrow and the contract is but a squiggle away :O(

The truth is, sandee, that you don't know how to write.

Why some people hate marriage is not a question, it's a statement assuming that some people hate marriage which has to be proven first (scientifically in Khalid's way).

If marriage involves signing a contract then I am staying single... Don't have 3 reasons for it, just one, It's not a business deal.

The title of the thread 'Why some people hate marriage' is far different from the two question you asked.

"The preacher asked her

And she said I do

The preacher asked me

And she said yes he does too

And the preacher said

I pronounce you 99 to life

It was all her fault :O(

Shotgun Wedding?

I have a duly signed marriage certificate.

Reasons:

Her father had a shotgun

Her Brother had a shotgun

Uh, further more, your "suggestive" question should rather be "Do some people hate marriage?" Why are you always stating something unproven in your so-called questions? This is old communistic dialectic, my friend. Nobody falls for this anymore.

No contract necessary where I come from, just 4 signatures. It's not a business, you know.

Why dont you start with your own opinion first. THen we all can take from there. That would be much better

hate is such a strong word... some are just not comfortable with it or are afraid of commitments..
