BAREILLY: With cases of divorce among Muslim couples on the rise, mostly because a spouse had a relationship with someone else before marriage, Sunni Barelvi clerics at the influential Dargah Sala Hazrat have decided to run a campaign aimed at convincing parents not to force their children to marry someone else if they are in a relationship. Clerics said that they will create awareness among parents that they should allow their children to marry the person of their choice.
Spokesperson of Dargah Aala Hazrat, Mufti said, "In nearly 50% cases of divorce in the last three years which came to us, the couple parted ways after only six months of marriage. We learnt that the main reason behind their separation was that one of the spouses had an affair before the marriage. When the husband or wife came to know about it, he or she started having suspicions, which a caused rift in their marriage, leading to separation."
As the main reason for separation turned out to be previous relationships, the clerics have decided to run a campaign to encourage love marriages. "We will create awareness among parents that they should explain to their children when they are pursuing higher education that they should not be in relationships, which later may affect their future. We will also motivate people that if their son or daughter is already in a relationship, they should accept it and not force their children into marriages against their wishes just to satisfy the parents' egos," said Noori.
"Love marriages are not against Islam as the religion has given respect to the choice of the boy and the girl. When Islam has given freedom to choose life partners, the family should accept it. If a youngster marries a person of their choice, he or she will be happy and there will be less chance of differences. However, the family should raise an objection if the boy does not earn a decent livelihood or if either the boy or girl does not have a good reputation in society," said the cleric.
The seminary will run a campaign to slowly bring about change in parents' mindsets. "As it is a controversial matter, we will have to slowly make parents understand what we are trying to say. Social workers and clerics associated with the seminary will give speeches about it during social and religious events. As every family has a relationship with a cleric, the latter will play an important role in creating awareness among youngsters and their parents," Noori added.

, love marriages occurred between acceptable communities. The boundaries between the two types have started to blur.[1] The term love-arranged marriage is used to describe a new emerging form of marriage which contains elements of both arranged marriage and love marriage.[7] Love marriages are seen as imposition of the younger generation's will over the older generation's wishes.[1][8]
ReplyDeleteIn a 2012 survey conducted by Ipsos for the TV channel NDTV, 74% of the respondents said that they preferred an arranged marriage.[9] In 2010, the National Commission for Women (NCW) released a report stating that it had documented 326 cases of honour killing in the past year, majority of which were due to Inter-caste marriages.[10]
In a 2014 survey conducted by the United Nations Population Fund and International Center for Research on Women, 11.7% of men and 8.5% of women surveyed claimed that they chose their partners and married with or without the consent of their families.(P.Revathy)
Promoting love marriages is possible in some community.Not all communities.Because some would see the religions,some would be the caste,etc.. ,Love marriages mostly would be the intercaste marriage.So,parents mostly never accept the love marriages of intercaste.But same community,caste,religion would be accepted in some ways.Without parents support marriage would never be happier.Because of the consequences,they should face.If you support love marriage please be safe because you doesn't know about them,if you knew them well it's fine.Mostly love marriages would not be the long life.Long love marriage life may be possible for some luckiest persons.Till now I don't know the reason why?? But all people used to say that it would never come for a long life it would end up in divorce.So think what is going to be good to you and select the right choice
