Selecting a Spouse- The Heavenly Path

The process of finding a suitable spouse is in no way a smooth and easy one. However, this does not mean it must become unnecessarily daunting and laborious as it sometimes becomes.

This manual aims to provide someone on the path of seeking a spouse with requisite information and guidance through every step of the process.

The manual begins by highlighting the beauty of marriage, and identifying the reasons why one needs to embark on this journey of finding a ‘mate’. Possible hurdles that people have cited as obstructive are treated and possible solutions have also been mentioned.
This is then followed by ways to identify whether one is ready to take this step of getting married or not, looking at the Islamic criterion as well as practical signs.

The book then addresses what one may look for in a potential spouse both from a jurisprudential point of view and from the traditions of the Ma’s min. The book also comprises a section on important Islamic laws and rulings that lay out essential information about the investigation process.
