Re: Wedding Wows lacking in Muslim
wedding ceremonies.
Traditionally in Christian marriages bride and groom hold hand and
make vows: ‘to have and to hold
from this day forward;
for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish,
till death us do part’ .
In Muslim Nikah ceremony all s Qazi does is asks the bride and groom if they accept each other for certain amount of Mehr.
Shouldn’t there be a wedding wow said in Muslim nikha ceremony too ? To remind both of them that they are accepting each other for:
better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish,
till death us do part.
Why I am saying this ? Because I saw a very disturbing thread in Life1 forum this morning where a husband is sending his wife to her home when she gets sick and she is seriously ill , she needs his help and support and he is kicking her out of home at a time when she needs him the most.
Link.
Your take ?
And does the majority depart from each other because of death or due to earthly necessites? The Qazi probably saved these words, because he definitely knew that the majority will be lying anyway!
