In Islam, is an "Arranged Marriage" sacred?

Question

Is there a way to break an arranged marriage if already exist?
(Please do not include arranged marriage for minors)

Answer 1

There are some arranged marriages, but that is not a must in Islam. Islam says that you have the right to marry who you like. The permission is asked of the man and the women. There is just no dating like you are used to. They can't be alone together before marriage. But they are allowed to spend time together and get to know one another before marriage.

Answer 2

Marriage in Islam is very respected, arranged marriages is not in Islam, it is tradition because in the old days men could not date the girls, and the girls stayed home and was hardly allowed to go to school, so nobody could see her, that is why arranged marriages were the only way, the mom makes a visit to the young woman's home and decides if the girl is suitable for her son, but now each year this tradition is starting to vanish cause the girl can go out, date, and choose the husband she likes, and when they stand with the sheik ( the religious man who marries them) he makes sure that the girl is accepting the marriage and all the terms she decided, so it is not sacred at all

Answer 3

It has nothing to do with Islam. It is CULTURE and TRADITIONS.

Arrange marriage is not something what came from Quran or God...
So check with the local traditions for the breaking arrange marriage

Answer 4

In Surah Al-Rum Chapter 30, Verse 21 (30:21)

“And among His signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts)”.

b. In Surah Nisa Chapter 4, Verse 21 (4:21)

The Qur’an refers to marriage as a “Misaq” that is a sacred covenant or agreement between husband and wife.

iii. a. In Surah Nisa Chapter 4, Verse 19 (4: 19)

“Oh! You who believe, you are forbidden to inherit women against their will!”

b. Islamic law requires the consent of both the parties before marriage. In matters related to marriage a woman cannot be forced by anyone including her father. Parents can help and advise the daughter on marriage but cannot impose or force his will. There have been cases where Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) had given the choice of continuing or invalidating certain marriages where the consent of the daughter was not taken (Ibn Hambal No.2469).

c. Ibn Abbas reported that a girl came to the messenger of God, Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) and she reported that her father had forced her to marry without her consent. The Messenger of God gave her the choice (between accepting the marriage or invalidating it _Ibn Hanbal No.2469).

In another version, the girl said : “Actually I accept this marriage but I wanted to let women know that parents have no right (to force a husband on them)” (Ibn-Maja, No.1873).

Answer 5

Yes haram in general means forbidden or unlawful or not allow ed.But haram means also as holy,sacred,taboo inviolable..So masjid al Haram means the sacred mosque which can be used only for muslims and muslimahs'praying.The cities of Medinaa,Mecca,Mina.Muzdalifaa and Arafaa are the haram place s for the non muslims.The non muslims are forbidden to visit those cities/places.Muslims can not slaughtered the animal and cut the trees in those sacred places.Muslims have also the so called haram months 4 months a year such as in Muharam .In these haram months muslims do not allow to make a war.If they are attacked they should try to make a trust or peace agreement with their enemies...

Answer 6

Well,
Traditionally the parents are involved in helping their children choose their partner in many muslim communities, in a similar way to how many people's parents in Europe used to introduce their children to suitable potential suitors.

This is an assisted marriage - it is not forced - and many muslim people are happy to have a marriage arranged this way. and it is not written into the Koran that it is the only way to be married.

A forced marriage when one or both do not wish to be married is contrary to the teachings of the Koran and in England at least is Illegal and can be disolved if coercion can be proven.

Answer 7

In islam both the man and the woman have to agree to the marriage

Answer 8

If the girl is under a certain age her father can decide instead of her.
If one of the couple is not willing to marry and is force to marry although according to law they are married but the marriage is not correct according to Islam.
The way to break any kind of marriage is divorce.Men can ask for divorce more easily than women.
