= Is Love Allowed ? =  Islamic Marriage **The Qur'an says:** "This verse begins with the declaration that “Men are qawwamun in relation to women.” The word qawwamun (singular, qawwam) derives from the Arabic term for standing. It signifies one who “stands over” or “stands up for,” thus potentially encompassing both authority and responsibility."

[]
==== **Analysis (my views):** ﻿The Qur'an says that quwwamun is the arabic term for standing. With men being the standing figure in the relationship the wife or women in the picture is a very lucky person. ====

**Also Stated in the Qur'an:** "Muslim marriage is a contract, not a sacrament. Though it has importance as the only religiously sanctioned way for individuals to have legitimate sexual relationships and to procreate (now that slave-concubinage is no longer practiced), marriage is a civil agreement, entered into by two individuals or those acting on their behalf."

[]
**Analysis (my views):** Why would marriage be a contract. The way they are saying this is making it sound like they have no choice in who they want yo marry, i know they can only marry a muslim man or woman, but why is it considered a contract not a sacrament?



Christian Marriage

**From "Human Sexuality and Christian Marriage":**"The institution of marriage is crucially important for human well being. Sex, a powerful source of energy and motivation, either works to strengthen marriage or to destroy it." [] **Analysis (my views):** Marriage is allowed in away you see it, its very important to Christians, but their biggest worry is having intercourse and everything getting ruined. In most relationships the way i see it intercourse can ruin everything.

**From the study of law:** "M arriage that remains avowedly Christian and faithful to Scripture and tradition, and a critical philosophical and naturalistic language that can defend this view of marriage in public deliberations with people of various faiths." [] **Analysis (my views):** If you follow the religion scripture you are allowed to get married under anyway that you want you can also marry other people from different faiths and make it known to the public.
