In 2017, an Iranian young man saw a modest and beautiful young Lebanese woman during the Arbaeen walk in Iraq. He simply asked her father through a mediator regarding his intentions to marry her. The father then invites him and his family to come to Lebanon and propose there. Weeks later, upon reaching Lebanon the young man’s family proposes and the girl’s family accepts the proposal without asking for any absurd conditions such as academic status or financial matters, and neither any large sum for the bridal gift (mahr). The young woman, in fact, requests to be given a Quran and a pilgrimage trip to Imām Redha’s shrine in Mashhad. The young couple also did not have a marriage ceremony, rather they saved the money to have been spent on that to purchase necessities of living for their home. The young man was 23 years old and the young lady was 16 years of age when they got married and began their blessed lives together.
Some points to note:
📍The young man did not waste time when he saw a potential match. He went straight to the father without wasting time despite being at Arbaeen walk.
📍The father of the girl was focused on seeing the moral attributes, religiosity, and character of the boy instead of his societal achievements like finance, education, and living arrangements.
📍The girl did not waste time prolonging marriage, neither did she request it to be extravagant and lavish. She preferred that her bridal gift only be as simple as the Book of God and a trip to Mashhad.
📍The age range was not an issue since both sides entered the marriage with understanding and acceptance.
