The community concern about marriage of a single woman who is in marriageable age.

[R.A.W]

A sister on another forum, while replying to a religious thread, mentioned the following (I am quoting her with a bit of editing):

A single woman at a marriagable age is (indirectly) deemed inferior/ at loss by the society, but they don’t realize that Allah Jalla Jalaaluhu has written in her Taqdeer to remain single till a certain age HE knows best, Alhumdullilah. (There is khair in it for her if her sincere efforts/ prayers and that of her parents have not yet bear fruit in this regard).

The community at large is often so (at times negatively) ‘concerned’ about those girls who remain unmarried (as if it is a sin), but very less worried about those Muslim girls who remain irreligious/ disconnected to ALLAH. (which is a greater loss/pain for a Muslim, in this life and also hereafter).

Yes its testing to live without a husband, but a punishment to be a Muslim and intentionally live a life outside of the Deen, (that all Muslims firmly believe to be a great loss).

**Amazingly so many ‘educated’ and ‘sensible’ people (even unintentionally) take part is making her feel embarrassed/ ashamed/ degraded/ inferior, (even indirectly) yet they don’t realize that it is perfectly normal and can happen to even their own daughters/ sisters. **

True. What I love is half the time the people passing comment on girls like myself are married women themselves, not so much the guys.

Actually, why would guys complain? They love single women.
