Getting Married: How Hard Can It Be?

My husband and I recently tried to match-make a couple of our friends. Omar began telling his friend about a really nice woman we knew at 33, successful, beautiful. His first response was, "So, what's wrong with her? Why is she 33 and not married?" Looking at the 30-year-old man before me, my first thought was, "I could ask you the same thing." However, the reality set in that there's a double standard when it comes to the issue of age and marriage. 

Many Muslim women are successful lawyers, doctors, professors and journalists. They are outspoken and active in their Muslim and non-Muslim communities. They are intelligent and beautiful, and they are unmarried. The same women who are ambitious and focused on their academic and professional success are finding it difficult to find a suitable spouse.

Twenty years ago, as young Muslim boys and girls were being raised in the U.S., they were encouraged to excel academically and professionally. Parents placed a huge emphasis on education and hard work for both boys and girls. And apparently, they were taken seriously. Girls excelled and never felt they could not attain an education or a profession. They worked hard and succeeded as their parents had encouraged all those years. Now, these same women are in their twenties and thirties and the same parents are now pressuring them to get married.

Are women to blame for being ambitious and educated? Apparently so. Women seem to be penalized for their ambition. Once a young woman passes the age of 25 and remains single, she is considered "old" and often finds it difficult to find a suitable spouse.

Suddenly, others tell her that she has become too picky and her expectations of a husband are unrealistic and that she should hurry up and get married already. "There are some of us who went to college and are successful in our careers and we are not on a search and destroy mission to get married," says Suhad Obeidi, a 39-year-old former banking manager with an M.B.A. The reality is that Muslim women have worked hard for their education and careers and they will not give it all up in order to get married.

In recent decades, men have also become highly educated and progressive, and have even fought for women's rights and the elevation of women in Islam. However, while these men are impressed with a successful and active woman, they do not consider her "marriage material." Despite the elevation of women, many men have maintained traditional ideas as to the type of wife they seek. After all, they do not see anything wrong with the way their mother was.

Consciously or subconsciously, many men seek a wife who will fulfill the traditional role of a wife and mother and one who will maintain a traditional home life. She should be educated, but she should also be willing to put her education and career on a shelf while raising a family. These women in their late twenties and early thirties appear too established in their career and lifestyle and therefore, more difficult to marry because they will not fall into this traditional role.

Many American Muslim women want to be wives and mothers while at the same time be respected for their profession. "One big problem is that, rather than embrace her ambition and success, men simply tolerate it and expect something in return," says Nagwa Ibrahim, a 25-year-old activist seeking a career as a human and civil rights lawyer.

Current expectations of marriage have changed for women and become more aligned with the examples of women during Prophet Muhammad's lifetime. The Prophet's first wife, Khadija, was an established career woman who was 15 years older than her husband. Khadija was a very confident and successful woman who actually proposed to the 24-year-old Muhammad. Yet, the Prophet was not intimidated by her nor found her "unmarriageable." 

They maintained a strong marriage as she continued to be a businesswoman, as well as wife and mother. Prophet Muhammad and Khadija were married for 28 years, the longest of all his marriages. The year that Khadija died was also referred to as the Year of Mourning by Prophet Muhammad.

Many Muslim women seek not to compete with men, but rather to establish a partnership with their spouse. Ultimately, these women want to be cherished and loved in the same way that the Prophet loved Khadija. This type of partnership in marriage can only exist when both people are accepting and respectful of one another's ambitions and priorities in life.

Nagwa Ibrahim feels that men have succumbed to negative cultural stereotypes that are contrary to Islam when selecting a spouse. "We (Muslim women) are the way we are because we are trying to be good Muslims," she says. 

Thus, a partnership in marriage can only be developed when men and women really follow the principles of Islam and learn to communicate their expectations of marriage as well as be understanding of one another. 

Communication is vital to any successful marriage, but now more than ever, women must feel comfortable in expressing their expectations of marriage to a potential spouse and in return feel that they are being understood, respected and encouraged. 

This evolution will happen once we see more modern examples of successful Muslim men and women getting married and further benefiting society by their union. Educated Muslim men and woman will only improve our Muslim communities by expecting the best from everyone, be they men or woman.

Beginning in the homes, parents need to nurture their children by encouraging them that they can have both worlds and that they can be successful in their career and marriage. Muslim women can have a huge impact on the future by modeling the multi-faceted woman of Islam to their children.

Therefore, when their daughters grow up, they will aspire to be women of excellence and ambition. Additionally, when their sons become men, their expectations and views of a suitable wife will include a partnership with an intelligent and successful Muslim woman. With further education and communication, men and women can understand and respect one another's roles in society and in the home, which will ultimately benefit future generations of Muslims.

Thank you for this article sister I really appreciate it. I myself is 28 years old with a young daughter and recently converted this year. I found that while going further in my education and also trying to find a husband that I have much against me. Many have told me that because Im not pure, been touched, not from the culture and older that it will be hard for me to marry. I have been told on several occassions that it would be best to stick with my own kind. This has hurt me very much and I became rather confussed about why people mix culture and the expectations under Islam. As a woman that has found peace within my heart for Islam, I have found the many problamatic ignorant behaviors amongst society esp. in the U.S. This makes me feel rather worthless and disposiable. Being told its ok to be Muslim but basicly stay away from our men has been really painful to endure. I ask for peace inshallah and all praises be to Allah that will provide me and my daughter with what he feels is fit.

Asalaam aliakum sister,

I really liked reading your article. Iam 28 and face the same
situation..I hope the society changes. My parents are wonderful as they never let me feel that I am older.May Allah bless them with all good things in life.I was allowed to concentrate on my career. guided me throughout not to fall prey to any guy at work or go for any unislamic party. Alhamdullilah ! Allah was guarding me as I used to work in the night shift and I hear lot of talks about girls working in the night. I had a lovely atmosphere in my office , lot of security for girls as well.
the only point is that most guys feel I am over aged..Insha Allah as

I agree with the article, however I would like to add my own personal experience with a few comments. I think first and foremost we must put Allah first in all endeavors. I have worked as an accountant for well over 25 years in corporate settings. As a wife and mother of three children most of thoes years working in corporate America were not pleasant. I found myself many times having to decide between the best interests of my family or the corporation. I think if a woman has a career she should be in control of her work environment. I finally decided to open my own business and that has been much better for me and my family.

MARYAM ABDI FROM KENYAN said:
Assalamu aleikum sisters/brothers,

All whats written in the article is true, being a Somali Muslim its hard to reach the age of over 25 yrs and not married but I believe everything happens when Allah SWT plans. I am a career Muslim woman who is very successful with the help of the loving husband who married me at the age of 31 years. I trust times are changing but one thing is for sure "marriage comes when Allah Subhana Watallah ordains it whether you plan to marry early or late. So dear sisters take heart, pray to Allah and respect yourself and inshallah biithmilaahu karrim your soul-mate will come.

Waaliekum Salam.

BRAHIM FROM USA said:
I like this article but I see that muslim women are bias. They only like to marry their own kind, and they only want someone with Phd. That is why most muslims in the states are single and find hard time to meet their match. I have been looking for a spouse (any spouse) for many many years but found nothing. Why? Because I don't have a Phd. Thank you

OTHERSIDE FROM USA said:
Too often, blame is put directly and indirectly on men in regards to educated women not finding a mate. It is true mainly and importantly in the regard that muslim men marry non-muslim women while women do not marry non-muslim men in the same numbers. In addition, unmarried educated women is not a muslim world phenomenon but a cross-cultural issue. Women need to consider that they must marry a less educated/wealthy man if they are to marry at all. There are other problems with this article but life is too short to go into them all.

MINHAJ FROM USA said:
Dear Author,
I understand the sentiments of women in your article who want to be successful in career and family. However theres a saying that goes like "In order to gain something you will have to loose some thing". Here the question is what is more important to an individual. Obviously you can`t sit in two boats to reach shore. One need to set priorities,
1) If career is weighed high then the focus on family is low, that is a downfall for proper child upbringing.
2) Men often let their wife work depending on which sector she can be employed due to economic condition. If he is making good income what is a need for her to struggle in a place with non- mahrem.
3) Generally career women often tend to be more selective, assertive and demanding so her choices are limited.
Lastly "Men likes to marry young women" Either you like it or not. its truth, ask any men you get the same answer.
Thanks

SUMI FROM GREECE said:
Assalmu Alaikum,

This article is good but it brings up a lot of issues. Quite frankly I'm tired of hearing fertility and pressure on women to have children. The bottom fact is let love came naturally. If two people love each other then let Allah handle the rest and let them live in harmony and work out differences. The husband should respect the woman if she wants to work or not. If she does and they have kids, they must work out a way to handle work or at least have her stay home for a while especially if she has a baby and time to relax a little bit! There will be some compromises made but communication is a must. While it is true it's easier to have kids at a younger age, people have kids at all different ages and every child is a gift from Allah. It's time for Muslims to respect each other for who they are and respect each other's intellect because it's all a gift from Allah. Marriage should be based on love and love for Islam. There has to be mutual respect for both to begin a marriage. Age is just a number because it's who you are in your heart that is most important in the end. Inshallah I wish the best for all sisters and brothers on the path for marriage!

I have read this beautiful article and the related comments. All the comments were beneficial in one or another way.
I have six sisters whom are graduates. Only one of them have got a graduate husband. My father prefered religiousity over graduation. So all of my sisters got good husbands and are leading happy married life. Unlike many educated boys in India, who ask huge dowry for marriage, none of my brother-in-laws asked dowry.

RIZ FROM USA said:
As a young male considering marriage at this stage in my life,
I find my self more attracted to an equally ambitious or more
so successful woman as I am. We need to grow our intellect
as a community to give ourselves strength and identy. One of
the best ways to do that is by considering our ambitious
Muslim woman for marriage. They have worked hard to
create an identy for themselves we should respect it learn
from it and grow. We face so many challenges these days we
need to be strong to be able to get through them. The only
way we can do it is by being united and accepting others.

Jazakalahu khairan. May Allah be praised. This is a very beautiful write-up. My sisters and I are good example of this difficulty that moslem women are going through. It is a real problem. Alhamdulilai we are all settled in our different matrimonial homes now but not with some compromises. I hope and pray that this piece of good work will get to as many a moslem as possible in order to effective a positive change in the orientation of our menfolk.

Marriage its 50% of the religion.
Don't forget yourself in the education because that will give you honor and money, but it will never give you happiness. You are telling people to be succesful in this life rather than telling them the sunnah of the prophet. Fitnah is in everywhere now these. Let me tell you that mens used to work for Kadija, please learn your religion first because you are being a fitnah for the young girls who wants to be married please my sister delete THIS ARTICLE I dont want my daugthers or their friends to read this.

ZAINAB FROM NIGERIA said:
I whole heartedly agree with the writer of the article and thank her for it. Women no matter their age, profession or social status want to marry and are willing to abide by the dictates of that union. It is unfortunate that the same men that appear to admire successfull women turn out to be too insecure to marry these women. We all know the criteria for choosing a spouse, so why not apply it and stop hiding behind artificial fears. If marriage was held in the same regard as it was during the Prophets's (PBUH) time and if we approached marriage in the same manner these problems wouldn't arise.

ABDUR RASHID FROM UNITED STATES said:
Prophet Muhmmad(saw) stated a women is married for four reasons her beauty, social status, wealth and Taqwa. So marry a woman of Taqwa. So it's very clear that the Prophet(saw) made it clear a woman of taqwa is the reason a man should marry a woman not the other three reason

HANAN FROM ITALY said:
Fertility doesn't only decrease in women but also in men, why exclude someone because of age. I just turned 49 and have a dughter aged 3 years - so just because you're over 30 doesn't mean you can't have children. All the suys out there desperate for having "many" kids should perhaps start thinking about all the unwanted kids waiting to get a loving home :-)
2009-02-23

ASIF FROM US said:
Plus if women have children at an older age there is a greater chance of child having problems - just a medical fact.

For myself, I was very clear.... I wanted someone at least 5yrs younger than me. More would have been better. Plus I don't want a woman married to her job - shes got to be married to me. I see women who are at work and after a little time, you can see their mannerism (talk, behavior, walking style) mimics a man. I don't want to go home and snuggle to a man - give me a woman !!

There are tradeoffs when a woman choses a career.

And before someone reminds about bibi Khadija, let me also say that she didn't go do her work - she hired men (among them the prophet) to do her work.

MS FROM USA said:
I feel compelled to write again in answer to some commentators who happen to be male and who are putting the load on "children". I would like to question how many males decided not to divorce their wives because of children and how many females did that. There would surely be a disproportionate women who sacriced for their children. So please don't say child-bearing should be a top priority. If you produce one good child, give him a good education, then that is better than 10 ill mannered ones. In religious history prophet Ibrahim's wife Sarah got a child in her old age, as did Zakariah's. What does that teach us? And prophet Muhammed's (pbuh) first Sunnah- shouldn't it be not to reject an older woman? I'm not saying don't marry young- that's obviously the aim, but I'm saying don't promote a culture of degrading an older unmarried woman who definitely in her heart wants to be married but something in her life prevented that. Who knows Allah may hugely reward the man who does marry an older woman. Show some muslim spirit- set an example...

BABANDI A, GUMEL FROM U.K said:
As reported in Hadith a person marries a woman because of four things either because of her wealth or because of her beauty or because of her genealogy (parentage from respectable family)or because of her religion.So you should marry her because of her Deen you may be blessed this is what the Prophet taught us.Question of age does not arise the Prophet (S.A.W) mmarried his first wife Khadija when she was 40 years old and the Prophet was only 25 and they were blessed with so many children.In addition Khadijah was the first believer in the whole Ummah i.e to accept Islam.Therefore the question of marrying a sister who is older is absurd as is not linked to the true teachings of the Prophet.The most immportant thing we should always consider is if the woman is Denious (religious) then a person will be blessed as the Prophet has prophesised.Paradise is under the feet of a mother so we must respect the sisters.What is the use if they come to Deen and nobody cares for them it is our collective responsibility to take care of our sisters similarly the wife should equally look after her husband to win the pleasure of her Creator.

MUJTABA ALI FROM USA said:
as salamu alaikum,

The age factor for a woman is a true reality. As
a woman ages, her fertility reduces gradually.
The number of eggs she has left in her ovaries
decreases and they become of "lesser quality". A
woman who gets pregnant after the age of 35 is
medically labeled as being of "advanced maternal
age" due to the relative high risk of pregnancy
at this age and higher.

It is natural for a man to have many children and
he will consequently want to marry a younger
woman due to the longer fertile window period
that is available.

Why is it natural for a man to desire many
children? The Qur'an provides an answer to this
question in Surah Al-Kahf (18:46) saying, "Wealth
and children are an ornament of the life of the
world." However, Allah swt also reminds us in the
same ayah, "but the good deeds which endure are
better in thy Lord's sight for reward, and better
in respect of hope."

The parents of a young woman should help her by
finding a suitable husband who would be willing
to support her education/career if she desires to
pursue those goals after marriage. Similarly, an
educated and professional young man should be
more open minded about finding a wife who matches
him in education and profession. Having common
educational/professional backgrounds certainly
aids in greater compatibility between the
spouses.

One should also keep in the mind that the main
criteria in finding a spouse should be
religiosity.

MS FROM USA said:
Mr notthecase, I sympathise with you that this article was not written by 2 authors, a male and a female. But I think that would be outside the focus that is being illuminated which is that: IT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY HARD IN THIS DAY & AGE FOR WOMEN TO FIND SUITABLE HUSBANDS. Why? The question is not what critera to look out for, but why are a thirty something or above being rejected based on age. Most of this category women for whatever reason have focussed on education; perhaps their fathers' households back home were dysfunctional and they wanted to escape the unreasonability. Allah said don't just follow your fathers, use your own judgment. Leave, if you must, gracefully. READ/ IQRA. Means educate yourselves- both sexes. I am sure Allah loves an educated mind because it make them more aware of how Allah is the Sole Master of the entire creation. I agree with other commentators the advice: marry for Islam first but then what -reject the older one because of her age. I married someone younger and because our beloved prophet married an older lady, so I feel comfortable, not inferior. But our dear Muslim brothers nowadays have generally become complacent and weak-sighted to what is really beautiful in a spouse. This article highlights one aspect of our "seeking-marriage" problems. I encourage this kind of talk so that tomorrow it will help some sister (and brother) of ours and the world may be a happier, more stable place to live in. God bless our earth and mankind.

SHUJA SYED FROM CANADA said:
Double Standard? About what? What is the difference between man and woman? Why Allah (sbt) has created them differently? Why women have to bear the children? Not because of double standard! Women should marry at the early age because they are different than men since their longevity in terms of producing children and in other areas is restrictive than men. A man can have children at the age of 70 while normally women cannot have children after 40. In the same way, women get puberty at an early age while men has to wait little longer. This natural cycle is not because of discrimination or something, but it is designed by the Almighty Allah for the smooth functioning of the society. There is nothing to celebrate or cheer that some Muslim women are professional, beautiful and still unmarried. This is not a good trend. Of course, men should also marry at the right age.

Sincerely.

MUHAMMAD-FAWZI A. AMADU FROM GHANA said:
An interesting article. We are Muslims and
obeying ALLAH is our first and most important
priority.

A husband must live his life as per the
priorities set by ALLAH and so must a wife. In
Islam motherhood and being a spouse have their
places in the list of priorities.

Education is important and so are careers, but
the question is if we have to juggle these at
once where does Islam place the priority? The
answers are there and provided by Islam and we
must follow them.

Much as I love my wife to pursue her medical
career, I do not want to suffer emotionally
because of her career. Also, I do not support the
idea of her giving birth and handing the child
over to someone else to take care off.

Alhamdulil-lah there are ways around these
situations and sometimes it has to do with
foregoing the a preferred option to a lesser
one (in the judgment of career experts, but not
necessarily in the judgment of Islam).

Rasulul-lah has taught us that when ALLAH closes
one gate he opens others. And we us Muslims must
look for those others rather than want to fit our
lives within the status quo.

May ALLAH guide us.

HAJJAH ALAISA MUKASA FROM UGANDA said:
Assalaam aleikum.

Munira, your article surely addresses issues that most moslem women face today. I agree that women should have an education and also be able to benefit moslems and other people with the knowledge they have acquired. I also beleive that we marry for love and companionship and must therefore respect and value each other in our homes and in public. I also believe that we as good wives must respect our husbands and at a certain degree must submit to our husbands given that men are more egotistic that women and that is why Allah gave them a degree of superiority over women especially concerning marital affairs. Women are strong in some ways whereas men are strong in others. Marry someone you believe with all your heart will make you happy and fulfill all your desire more especially the emotional and physical desires as material desires to me are not as important. There is nothing as feeling lonely yet you are married. And like Munira said you must be able to communicate with your husband your most intimate thoughts about anything without any fear for marriage to be enjoyable and longlasting.

I can go on and on about work, marriage and Islam. The point is Love, respect and be a companion for your partner, then you will not be threatened by your wife's success and you will not think that preparing a home cooked meal for your husband every now and then is too much for your educated mind.

SWDR FROM USA said:
People need to choose a spouse for their adherence to islam, not their profession, or their looks or their bloodline. This is in the hadith. When people make their own criteria, they'll always be disappointed. Perhaps their intentions made Allah swt withold his mercy on the marriage. People can be educated yet islamically void. When two people don't follow islamic guidence we see disagreements and breakdown. Women should be professionals, but at the same time educated in islam (just like men).

NOTTHECASE FROM USA said:
This article is written from a woman's point of view (obviously). As a male, I can say that many men have gone out of their way to accommodate the career-related and other needs, desires, and expectations of their wives (or potential wives in the case of those still seeking). Unfortunately, it is taken for granted. Unmarried (and married women) have many expectations which are unrealistic or impractical.
2009-02-20

MS FROM USA said:
I did not read all article but I sure agree that professional women have it hard whether they "marry at par" or below them. They first are questioned as if it were a sin to be old and not married, not looked upon kindly for any years they spent in education etc. Men, I find are broadly selfish and look at the physical beauty as the top criteria. But marriage is so personal, how can one educate the community who to love? But I think we still can because love is not only inborn, it is cultivated and nurtured. And respect the other person and give each other our true rights. If we can remind ourselves and follow what our obligations are as set by Allah, I think our time on earth will be pleasant and worthwhile.

AS FROM NIGERIA said:
What's up sis munira? Want have your cake and eat it? No way.

The time of Khadija (RA) was a time when there was no 'Womens' libration movements' No struggle by the women to be 'equal' to men. They (the sahabas) knew that men and women are equal but different. So a man can be 18 and married to a 50 yr old, she will still be a wife to him, taking care of his household and obeying his instructions... But what do we have today? the 21st century AD all are turning away from the basic principles set out by Allah for marriage relatioinship and the dos and donts set out both for men and women in such relationship. So a thirty yr old boy is afraid of getting involve with a 33 yr old woman who had to have Bsc MSc and PHD before she thinks of marriage!

What's wrong with the girl finishing all her degrees in the husband's house under the watcful eyes of both parents and the man's supervision? Nay. 'what a man can o a woman can do better' is the adage now , so the woman must go tthroug her education like any other man, do whatever men do outside the home (in the universities/societies)and stil hope to meet Mr. right for marriage after.

My advise to my brothers is please marry your children to faithful partners immediately you reach the age of puberty. Let them finish their education in their husband's homes. Afterall many men are out there looking for such arrangements which is one the solutins to the moral decadence we are going through in this era.
