Can One Marriage Meeting Push a Girl to the Point of Wanting to End Her Life? A marriage proposal meeting should be about getting to know someone respectfully—not humiliating, insulting or making a girl feel worthless. Some families make cruel comments about a girl's appearance, complexion, education or background, as though her entire worth depends on their approval. Such behaviour can leave deep emotional scars. Allah says: “O you who believe, let not a people ridicule another people; perhaps they may be better than them…” — Qur’an 49:11 The Prophet ﷺ said: “A Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. He does not wrong him, forsake him, or despise him.” — Sahih Muslim 2564 You have every right to decline a marriage proposal, but you do not have the right to humiliate someone. Speak with kindness, maintain dignity and remember that rejection does not reduce a person's worth. A proposal can be rejected. A person's dignity must never be destroyed.

How a friendship can ruin your life! Your friends are not just people you spend time with. Their habits, behaviour and values can influence your character and even your relationship with Allah. Allah says: “Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous.” — Qur’an 43:67 The Prophet ﷺ said: “A person is upon the religion of his close friend, so let each of you look at whom he takes as a close friend.” — Sunan Abi Dawud 4833; Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 2378 (graded hasan) Choose friends who remind you of Allah, encourage you towards righteousness and help you stay away from sin. A friend who makes disobedience seem normal can gradually influence your heart. And a righteous friend can encourage you towards Jannah. Choose friends who bring you closer to Allah, not those who make you forget Him.

Love marriage can destroy your life! Islam does not forbid feelings that arise naturally, but it teaches us not to pursue love through haram relationships, secret dating or unlawful intimacy. Allah says: “Do not even approach zina. It is truly a shameful deed and an evil way.” — Qur’an 17:32 The Prophet ﷺ said: “No man is alone with a woman but the third one present is Shaytan.” — Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 2165 (graded sahih by al-Albani) Having feelings for someone is not automatically a sin. What matters is how you act on those feelings. If you are serious about someone, pursue marriage through a halal path, involve the wali and maintain Islamic boundaries. Do not sacrifice Allah’s pleasure for a relationship that has no halal commitment. Seek love through nikah, where affection and mercy can grow with Allah’s blessing.
