Quand vous vous mariez pour quatre raisons, N'oubliez pas votre raison

En tant que psychologue praticien, J'ai été consulté une fois par un frère en Turquie qui avait besoin de conseils relationnels immédiats. En résumé, the brother’s “emergency” was that he had met a nice religious girl from a good family but was not attracted to her at all. He was under pressure from both his and her family to make a decision after three short meetings with the sister. I asked him what he liked about her; he said she was religious and came from a good family. “Okay, what else?"

I could feel his anxiety through the computer screen. To marry or not to marry?

“Should I just go for it?"

j'étais choqué. Marriage is a lifelong commitment that requires compatibility, attraction and personality flow, none of which he felt. But he failed to recognize this, because he was stuck on the hadith (narration of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, la paix soit sur lui) narrated by Abu Huraira in Bukhari: “A woman is married for four things: sa richesse, her family status, her beauty and her religion. So you should marry the religious woman (autrement) you will be unsuccessful.” (Livre #62, Hadith #27)

À mon avis, ce hadith is often misunderstood, car we forget the other reasons in the process. In the case of the young man I talked to, he thought we should seul marry for religion and ignore the other three. Are you likely to sustain and succeed in a marriage where there is no compatibility beyond sharing a similar theology and ritual practices? en outre, what someone else calls “religious” may not mean the same thing to you.

In my experience working with couples for many years, I know for a fact that this is irrational. When we fail to apply reason in matters of religion, we get pain, destruction and failure, surtout dans le mariage. We cannot live a true path of spirituality if our attempt to follow Islam lacks sincerity, sagesse, and deep reflection on our context and ourselves. Some Muslims live the path of serving Islam, as if it is a person nodding its head in approval every time we apply a hadith or Qur’anic verse. Islam is a path to God. God is the one to whom this path leads. Did this brother think about God in his process? That one day he will meet Him and be asked about “just doing it” without regard for the deeper requirements for success in human relationships? He considered getting married in order not to hurt the sister’s feelings—what about when he divorces her because he realizes it was a huge mistake?

A few points to reflect on:

• Never ever marry someone you don’t feel right about out of fear or pressure. This is likely to lead to failure. À la fin, you and your partner will suffer, not your family, your culture, or even your religion.
• Marry someone who possesses all four reasons mentioned in the hadith not just religion. This is more likely to succeed and sustain a life long partnership.
• If religion is important to you, avoid marrying someone who does not have religion, even if the other three reasons are alluring. This is just as unlikely to succeed.
• Use this hadith as a guide, not an axiom with closed borders. We also marry for love and chemistry, in addition to these four reasons.
• Islam teaches us to admire diversity. If we always married people from the same socioeconomic status, course, or ethnic group, par exemple, this would hinder a more colorful, multicultural ummah (communauté).
• Sometimes people act religious because it is more “marketable” for marriage. Be cautious and go beyond surface checkpoints of theology and practice. Get to know the person and their family more deeply.
• Take your time. If you do not feel you are given enough time to get to know someone do not get married to avoid cultural stigmas. Families that rush their kids into marriage are the ones to have sincere skepticism towards.
