marriage
From a human point of view, marriage is a close bond between a woman and a man to achieve human happiness, if the Islamic and Sharia rules and ethics are properly taken into account. As marriage is the legal way to form a family, while marriage legally is a legal contract that brings together a woman and a man to legalize the ten between them in mercy and affection, and clarifies for each of them the rights and duties. قال تعالى: {وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيمَا عَرَّضْتُمْ بِهِ مِنْ خِطْبَةِ النِّسَاءِ أَوْ أَكْنَنْتُمْ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ عَلِمَ اللَّهُ أَنَّكُمْ سَتَذْكُرُونَهُنَّ وَلَكِنْ لَا تُوَاعِدُوهُنَّ سِرًّا إِلَّا أَنْ تَقُولُوا قَوْلًا مَعْرُوفًا وَلَا تَعْزِمُوا عُقْدَةَ النِّكَاحِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْكِتَابُ أَجَلَهُ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ فَاحْذَرُوهُ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ Forbearing} (235) (The Cow).
Marriage rule

- A section that has reasons for marriage, has an urgent desire for it, and is certain that it will fall into the forbidden in the event that it does not marry.
