The Golden Principles of Successful Marital Life Perspective in the Islamic Teachings (A Special Study of Pakistani Society)

Abstract

Marital relations, from an Islamic religious perspective, are one of human life's most important social aspects. The Islamic injunctions as the Divine revelations composed in the Holy Book of the Quran and the sayings and deeds of the Holy Prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him) have endorsed heterosexual marriages for all capable young men and women and deliberated a detailed description of the rights, obligations and equity between husband and wife including concepts of polygamy, divorce, remarriage and inheritance in an integrated family system. This study aims to indicate the gap between Islamic marital relationship knowledge and Muslim practices in Pakistan to suggest the need for a marital policy. It is observed that many concepts and directions of Islam are being flouted today by most of its Pakistani believers in their marital relations, ceremonies and practices. In this article, the Islamic teachings on the subject are briefed, and with this reference, the prevailing Pakistani marital sociocultural practices are discussed. In Islamic domains and local sociocultural perspectives, conclusions and recommendations are given to advise a national marital policy to alleviate human suffering to lead a happy marital life.
