Marriage is among the requirement of Islamic religion. Muslim men are urged to
marry single women in the Islamic community and also marry among them the
slaves who have dignity. (Quran 24:32) says:
“Marry among you who are single and (marry) your slaves, male and female, that
are righteous”.
Marriage is also part of Islamic Practices (fiqh). Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“When the servant of Allah (SAW) marries he has fulfilled half (the responsibilities
laid on him by the) faith; so let him be God conscious with respect to the other
half,” Reported by Mishkat.
