the world. That is why all religions and legal systems have tried as much as possible to regulate
the conduct of marriage as well as its dissolution among its members.
In Islam marriage is seen as a sacred contract which a Muslim enters into, unless if there
are special reasons. Why he should not. Both Glorious Qur’an and the Sunnah of Prophet
Muhammad (SAW) provided basis for Muslims conduct of marriage. Thus, inQur’an, it is said:
And marry those amongst you who are single and those who among male slave and your female slaves if they are needy, Allah will make them free from what out of this grace. 1
Similarly the Prophet (SAW) has expressly declared that:Marriage is my Sunnah and whoever abstain from my Sunnah is not of me”. It is in compliance with the above injuctions that the Muslims all over struggle to get married in order to gain the pleasure of Allah (SWT). 2
