My nephew is new to the Islamic faith and has met a young lady he will be marrying on Saturday. They have known each other three weeks. Is rushing common within this faith, and if so, why?

Your nephew might have been specifically introduced to the young lady as a possible marriage partner. He might even have joined this religion in order to find a wife or even to marry this particular woman.

no, but according to my modest background when you are a muslim and you are affried that you might commit a sin, and you are able to get married you should. if you are not able to get marreid you should fast(like muslims do in ramadan) to protect your self from sin. marriage in islam is more like a relationship between the two people and god. and the relegion factor is the most important one, not beauty or wealth.

The way most Muslims look at that, it is not rushing but protection. I am 20 and got engaged in July 1999, and I hope to get married sometime the end of 2000. That wouldn’t exactly be rushing the engagement period, I suppose, but you would probably think I’m still rather young. True, but the way we look on it is that sexual desire is natural, and in many circumstances if it is not given into lawfully, it will be performed unlawfully, hence marriage legalizes a need and reduces the risk of the young fulfilling themselves unlawfully. In fact, a person getting married in Islam is said to have saved half of his faith. And basically that is the bottom line of marriages being encouraged at a young age.
