That should be really good i.a.
Your right culture and religion get so badly mixed up sometimes that people make culture their religion.

Well part of the right education is to separate religion from culture as we often mix up the two without knowing.
And due to my experience I know that it is a deep problem, which runs into our Elders.
There’s things we can do to improve the understanding in the Elders and also things like seminars and conferences to educate the young people and their parents, pre-marriage.
Insha-Allah, we should sson be able to give you further details of one such marriage seminar which is to take place in Dewsbury.

What is the right education though?
I mean, being a University student I see examples of forced marriages all the time within my peers.
Maybe our Masjids and communities could make more of an effort to bring the problem out there to our elders and attack it head on?!

It’s interesting though, I mean, even in this day and age, you would be surprised at the number of young people who DON’T get married to the person of their choice because they don’t want to offend.
It’s really a serious problem but with the right education, we can do something about it.

I am aware of that hadith. Thanks for the reminder though.

I don’t know about that, but I always keep in mind the four criteria of wealth, beauty, lineage and piety set by our Prophet (PBUH).
And the Prophet (PBUH) emphatically said that we should look at piety more than anything.

I once heard someone say that at the time of Nabi SAW it was advised to look in the family first and then elsewhere.
Is this true?

If it is then surely that advise would take a different stance todat, as these days cousins grow up practically together and live as brothers and sisters. ( I know this is Islamically incorrect, but I guess it’s another culture issue…)
