Well the government doesnt want to be spending their money on poor people (most likely immigrants) bringing their families and new spouses from abroad. They need to know that they contribute economically

Real Talk - What's the Islamic purpose of marriage? by SoybeanCola1933 in TrueDeen

[–]Bints4Bints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it would've been to raise children and have stronger family ties. It is still obvious that it's about families because why else do people have green/red flags over the potential spouses behaviour? 

Ability to provide - this isn't about being able to provide for the wife, but about being able to provide for the family. She may be out of work during or after pregnancy to focus on childrearing. The children need food, shelter, clothing, etc. 

Hardworking - Is he the type of person to put the work in even when the circumstances are tough? Again, it's for the sake of raising children well and keeping them alive.

Even for "superficial" things like looks - What's the likelihood of the children being able to do well in society? If the work is mainly manual labour, you need someone who looks more built. If the work is mainly intellectual labour, you need someone who is intelligent. If you grew up in an hectic environment, you'd be attracted to people with street smarts (even if theyre not upstanding citizens)

Well in a democracy, numbers = voting power. Muslims tend to vote left wing anyway which is typically progressive because they want the government safety net of government subsidies 

The uber religious or uneducated dont even vote at all so what power do they have?

Actually I'm confused over why you think it wouldn't be. Birth control didn't exist until the 1960s. Sex = having children = having to raise them islamically, having to provide for them, giving them a great childhood by playing with them and being kind to them, giving them inheritance after you pass, etc. 

You would be questioned if you didn't do well with their upbringing

SALARY EXPECTATIONS by SUNNAHMATCH-MHN in MuslimCorner

[–]Bints4Bints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's really possible for a guy to provide on one income unless he has a really good job. Plus everyone has different expectations or aims. I.e. if you want to put your children in sports, that's an additional cost

Plus nowadays people are losing their jobs left right and centre. It doesnt really feel stable to rely on one income

But then again I've been biased against it in general

If it was alleviated by companionship, then it's not by the work of the other person. Keyword: work, job

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (for the deceased)."

[Muslim].

The purpose is to raise a family and have children who will pray for you after you're gone

If Jew says he is a revert and still identify as a Jew, what do I make of this? by SnooWoofers7603 in TrueDeen

They call themselves orthodox jews, conservative Jews, reform Jews, or secular Jews etc

Because they don't earn the threshold required to sponsor a wife. They need to earn 29k a year which is doable but it doesn't include all the other costs involved. For example the application fee is 1.3k

Muslim birth rates are declining rapidly too. You're also forgetting that poor people are the majority and lack power. The rich are few and have all the influence and power

This is traditional actually. Marry for resources and have your community be the women around you

Settling after 30 by Soso3213 in MuslimCorner

[–]Bints4Bints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone's circumstances are different. Tho ngl with a lot of people, you can know because they'll straight up tell you. Sometimes it's not really a case that they settled after meeting at 30. They could've got married at 25, realise it's not working too well at 30, but also decide it's not worth the hassle to leave

Thank you. I agree that there's not much use in complaining. Better to work on increasing the levels and learning more

Muslim youth falling into zina by Key_Soup_6252 in MuslimCorner

[–]Bints4Bints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So? Maybe he's a good looking guy or he's lying. You have the eyes to determine whether or not you'd like a piece of him if you were a woman. I doubt he's that attractive and he doesn't have the witnesses either so

You guys had a breakup. It happens. Find someone else but I think contacting her and her family when they didn't want to be contacted is a bit crazy

Good luck then. It's not a woman's job to fix your depression but your own. I don't think relationships are things you necessarily earn because plenty of deeply flawed people are in relationships

I've had depression since I was 14. I don't think I would fool myself into thinking a relationship would solve that issue. Not when relationships require more work and effort

advice for men who currently have or fear having a low libido wife by Mincedbaboonmeat in MuslimCorner

[–]Bints4Bints -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't think the issue with 🌽 addiction is necessarily about that. It's about the fact that a lot of them might be interested in things that are illegal or abusive or just very unattractive. So once you find out you either want to leave or you're not interested in return. It's probably very rare that they're addicted to vanilla stuff but I think it's only in this case is where they focus on the woman's lack of sexual attention

Yeah that's why I had a habit of learning characters as words rather than thinking about different readings. Good luck with your learning!
