As a Muslim, Can I marry anyone I Wish?
\n<\/strong><\/div>\n
\nMarriage in Islam is the uniting, or creating a bond between a man and a woman, who will gradually develop into a deep spiritual, sentimental and socio-economic relationship. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has said: “No institution of Islam is liked by God more than that of marriage.” When one marries in Islam, he\/she has saved half of his religion.<\/div>\n
The basic object of marriage is to secure a comfortable atmosphere for a man and a woman, and also to produce a new generation of healthy, faithful and virtuous children. A Muslim husband and wife should always be a source of comfort for each other, and their relationship should be far above mere sexual enjoyment.<\/p>\n

When one is looking to get married, he\/she should at best, try to consider the following qualities in a spouse. Faith, Morals, Knowledge, and Compatibility; Faith obviously being the most important factor to consider.<\/p>\n

A Muslim man or woman cannot marry a Mahram. Mahram relationships on the grounds of blood-relationship include that of:<\/p>\n

– Mother\/Father (includes grandparents)
\n– Daughter\/Son (includes descendants)
\n– Sister\/Brother (includes descendants)
\n– Paternal aunts\/uncles
\n– Maternal aunts\/uncles<\/p>\n

One can also not marry those with whom he\/she had relationship on the grounds of nursing, which is established on the requirements of some special conditions (which we will not get too much into)<\/p>\n

One can also not marry those people who are declared Mahram on the account of affinity, relationships created by marriage. They are the following:<\/p>\n

– Mother\/Father in law
\n– Daughter\/Son in law
\n– Stepmother\/father
\n– Stepdaughter\/son
\n– A man can not marry his wife’s sister
\n– A woman can not marry her sister’s husband<\/p>\n

Marriage with one’s cousin is allowed.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
