Most Muslims believe marriage is a fundamental building block of life. Marriage is a contract between a man and woman to live together as husband and wife. The marriage contract is called a nikah.
For most Muslims the purpose of marriage is to:
keep faithful to each other for the rest of their lives
have children and bring them up in the Muslim faith
Marriage is mentioned many times in the Qur'an, which Muslims believe is the word of God, as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, and therefore, they follow its teachings on marriage
Muslims also regard the teachings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad as a source of authority. In the Qur'an it says that the Prophet was married, and therefore most Muslims look to follow his example.
In the Qur'an, Muslim men are allowed up to four wives, as long as they can treat each one equally. This practice is known as polygamy. However, if they cannot treat their wives equally, Muslim men are advised to have just one wife, and this is the practice in most modern Islamic societies. Polygamy is not allowed in Wales and the rest of the UK.
Muslims do not agree with pre-marital sex and therefore Muslim couples do not usually live together or cohabit until they are married. However, there are changing attitudes towards cohabitation. These changing attitudes mean that some Muslims decide to cohabit rather than marry and are more influenced by the values in modern society.
that what I know.
