	CONCEPT OF MARRIAGE IN ISLAM
		Marriage is a religious duty and is consequently a moral safeguard as well as a social necessity.
		Marriage acts as an outlet for sexual needs and regulate it so one does not become a slave to his/ her desires.
		Arranged marriages on the other hand, are based not on physical attraction or romantic notions but rather on critical evaluation of the compatibility of the couple.

	Marriage in Islam

		This is irrespective of whether the marriage was executed with a person who is of the same social standing or with a person of a lower class, and irrespective of whether the nikâh was performed with mahrul mithl or whether it was far less than the mahrul mithl.

	Marriage in Islam
		To stress on this fact and then to talk about marriage in the same verse is of great significance for those of us who are in the field of marriage counseling.
		By stressing on the equality of all humans men or women and making it the basis of marriage, Allah in His infinite wisdom has laid the ground rules for establishing peace, as well as the assigning of different roles to husband and wife as functional strategy rather than a question of competence as humans.
		Marriage in Islam is above all a partnership based on equality of partners and specification of roles.

		Islam requires the man to give a dowry to his wife The Our'an stipulates that it should be offered "as a gift." that is out of good will and with the conviction that it is her right.
		Islam provides for a dower to be paid as a compensation for the woman in return for the obligation marriage imposes on her to be a good bed fellow to her husband.
		Marriage is meant to start a family, and it is far better for the woman to have her family by her side when she is about to start a new family.

		When a girl reaches the age of marriage it is customary for the Muslim parents to play a major role in the choice of the husband, but she must be consulted.
		Nowadays educated Muslim girls are having a greater say in the choice of husband, but it is still considered that the parents' opinion of the boy is of great importance, and it is rare part of the Muslim tradition for either to be married with the consent of their parents or guardians.
		When a girl or woman is married it is an essential part of the marriage for the bridegroom to give her a dowry (mahr), which may be of any value agreed upon.

	USC-MSA Compendium of Muslim Texts
		Marriage is forbidden (haram) to a man, according to the Hanafi school, if he does not possess the means to maintain his wife and children or if he suffers from an illness, serious enough to affect his wife and progeny.
		In order that problems should not arise after marriage the Prophet (peace be upon him) recommended that, in the selection of his bride, a man should see her before betrothal lest blindness of choice or an error of judgment should defeat the very purpose of marriage.
		However this impediment is removed immediately if the marriage is dissolved either by the death of her former husband, or by divorce followed by completion of the period of 'iddah (retreat).

	Mut'a; Temporary Marriage In Islam III - www.sdol.org (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In permanent marriage, the period of iddah is 4 months or 3 menstrual cycles, while that in temporary marriage is 45 days or 2 menstrual cycles.
		Permanent marriage is the most preferred form and recommended form of marriage, however there are certain situations when one can not possibly be part of a permanent marriage at a specific time or can not be part of constructing a family.
		Thus temporary marriage stands as a logical choice of relationship between a man and woman till either or both of them are capable of permanent marriage.

		If such qualities are not opposing the fundaments of the Islam or to the obedience of the husband and his rights, then at that point, he should not push her to change her personality so that it complies with his natural preference.
		Islam states that a husband should not try to expose his wife's bad qualities, for too much blaming and reprimanding will worsen the relationship between them, and will surely threaten their marital life.
		Also Islam forbids the husband fro scolding his wife or blame her for a mistake she made, in front of others, even if they are their own children.

	MARRIAGE IN ISLAM
		At the time of the marriage both partners should have the fullest possible intention of keeping the marriage commitment for life, although under some extreme circumstances it may perhaps be possible to enter into a marriage contract on a temporary basis.
		It is evident that the judgment as to whether a marriage partner is getting enough satisfaction out of his or her marriage is a subjective one and therefore belongs entirely to the partner himself or herself.
		Consequently, for the dissolution of marriage Islam does not require that a partner prove to some authority such as a court that there has indeed been a failing on the part of the other partner in the fulfillment of his or her marital obligations.

	Temporary Marriage in Islam (Part I)
		In Part V we discuss the purposes of marriage as well as the chronological orders of the prohibition of illegal sex and the permission of Mut'a in the history of Islam.
		Of course, Mut'a is one type of marriage, but some of it's regulations are different than the permanent marriage, including the fact that the couple can extend this contract by mutual agreement as the end of verse specifies.
		Even the English version of Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim have translated the word "Mut'a al-Nisa" to "Temporary Marriage," and they also translated "Istimta'a" to "marrying temporarily", and the traditions in that section which is a section in the chapter of marriage, gives the total picture of its meaning.

	Temporary Marriage in Islam (Part II)
		The prohibition of masturbation is also supported by the verses of Quran, as we will discuss in Part V. Some claim that the Prophet used to allow temporary marriage in a particular expedition and then prohibited it on the day of victory.
		This allegation falls apart when we see that some of the famous companions said that Mut'a was widely practiced from the time of the Prophet till the time of Umar, and was continued to be promoted by some companions even after the death of Umar.
		Jabir Ibn Abdullah reported: "We contracted temporary marriage giving a handful of the dates or flour as a dower during the life time of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and during the time of Abu Bakr until Umar forbade it because of Amr Ibn Huraith.

	Why does Islam not Prohibit Marriage between First Cousins
		To understand why Islam has not prohibited marriage between first cousins, it is imperative to first understand the scope of Islamic teachings, in general and its prohibitions, in particular.
		Islam, for instance, does not guide us to make more effective rockets to reach the moon or to discover more effective cures for cancer or AIDS.
		By the same token, Islam does not prohibit things for their medical or scientific repercussions.
