Re: few years to live
ditto..
and it really depends on the scope of your thinking...for me, personally..if i loved the person, i would marry them...
i'll meet have to meet em again in the next life anyways. Atleast the marriage bond in this life can last in the next...
wow...i hope i made sense.
Re: few years to live
the doctor told him...cancer has progressed and that there is nothing they can do for him. He has about 2 yrs left at the most.
Re: few years to live
But docs can always be wrong, we never truly know if they're gonna die.. theres always the chance of recovery, however "sure" it may be..
Re: few years to live
true...it's in Allah's hands. :)
Re: few years to live
Put it this way, if u were enagged with someone and later the person got diagnosed with cancer or soemthing would u dump the guy or go for him?
If I was emotionally involved with someone who ended up in such a state I wouldn;t step back. Better to spend 2 years of happiness with the one u love than a lifetime with someone you don't. But there won;t be many who will let someone do this for them.
Re: few years to live
My dada’s younger brother was a heavy drinker who severely damaged his liver through excessive alcohol consumption. The doctors told him he’d die within 5 years but he lived for 15 more instead. In the end a heart attack killed him rather than liver-related issues.
Would you marry this person if they were going to live for 20 more years?
And if you married him just to be physically around him to look after him to keep him happy, but he wanted to take the marriage to the next level, would you be okay with that?
After all, in Islam when you’re married there are certain rights the spouses have over each other…
Re: few years to live
FF i dun think she said anything bout them being engaged or emotionally invovled.
In that case it would be a different thing.
But just marrying someone cause they are bout to die is not the right thing to do.
Marriage is not a game let alone be dealt with such a thing.
Like i once said easy to get married
hard to get out of it.
Re: few years to live
...heck no!
Re: few years to live
in a heartbeat…
death is easy, because life is hard.. if something like marriage could make a person’s transition from life to death a lil easy, i’m pretty sure i will do it..
i dunno if i will be engaged AND YET i will do it or not? but this seems like a ‘better’ choice..
Re: few years to live
I read it again and I’m quite sure…
in a heartbeat
Re: few years to live
well said…that’s how i view it as well.
I guess to some this would be viewed as a sacrifice on the other hand…who knows…maybe it could be a life changing experiece for the person who decided to commit themselves to that dying person…perhaps in the end it becomes more beneficial to them and not the person dying.
not sure if i worded it correctly…hope it made sense.
Re: few years to live
in a heartbeat
you must have a wonderful heart then...not too many people would be willing to do this. :)
Re: few years to live
yes maybe becaz i think i will get all the money (j/k) 
yes only if both the parties are fairly interested
Re: few years to live
I don’t know about that.
What I do know is that the greatest satisfaction that I have ever felt in my life was from helping someone to endure their final days and being there for them when they passed on.
So perhaps my decision would be a selfish one…
Re: few years to live
I personally dont think i cud eva have married sum1 out of obligation or pity....if ur totally in love with some1 then thats completely different but i dont think i cud marry sum1 out of pity esp if i didnt love them in that way. Id rather b there for them as a close friend and help them through their hard times.
Re: few years to live
wow so many different responses. interesting.
Re: few years to live
...my thoughts exactly, good post Amani.
Re: few years to live
fairly interested means if they are in love
