Simplified Islamic Laws for Young Adults

Marriage

Issue 451: If someone fears that he/she will fall into sin because of not being married; for example he/she will look at a Non-Mahram, then it is Wajib for them to get married.

Issue 452: In marriage, a specific formula must be recited, and it is not sufficient that the boy and girl are content with each other or even love each other. Due to this, until the formula (for marriage) has been recited, both of them are not Mahram to each other, and as for the other women (in her family), there are no relations for them to be considered as Mahram.

Issue 453: If even one letter is pronounced incorrectly in the marriage formula such that it changes the meaning, then the marriage formula (and marriage) are void.
