Re: Step Moms
^ Yes and I agree to some extent. But that nevertheless does not make it haram. The point in my post was different. I did not say that everyone HAS to do it. I just said that it is not fair if we can marry again and again but yet, when an elder feels the need to do it, we think it's bad. Every person will decide if there is the need to marry again or not (and not children or society) so yes, it depends on the person if he/she wants to marry again or not, be it after 6 months, or 1 year or 2 years.
The feeling to love one's own is natural and I have not seen a person in my life who doesn't have that feeling. Allah is aware of that. Had He not been aware of our condition, he would've stated it clearly that it's haram. We should not burden ourselves adn think it is not allowed. It is allowed, but it will depend on the person if he/she wants to marry again or not.
