Instead of discussing it here, shouldn't she be consulting with an Alim or Mufti for that, if she was really interested in finding the truth based on sound religious grounds?.
Look, we all know she is just venting, she needs to read/hear what she wants to read/hear.

Perhaps in that case, all the questions here should be asked to an Alim or Mufti instead of in this forum? :)
Besides, Alims or Muftis or whatevers have different views all with some sort of evidence. (just look at the answers on the many websites, all with different views). I like to get information from all sides, negative, positive, neutral and then see which sounds more true, more logical and I do sometimes get an answer I don't like, but then I have to accept that and live with that. I'd love to do many things which I'm not allowed to do in Islam. That's the way it is for everybody. :)
By the way, everyone, I'm giving it a second try now. I've changed my mind about marriage some time ago. This time, I will only get married if I find someone myself, someone who is my own choice and not my families choice, because I don't want another terrible husband. Besides, right now, I'm happy the way I am. I'm not letting any husband ruin my life again! Life is alhamdulilah for me. If I find someone suitable for me, then I'll accept him and if I don't find anyone, I'm not going to remarry. That's the way it is. Thanks everyone for the information and opinions.
I am with u notorious. Before getting married also i was of the opinion that one can live without marriage and I was very happy with my single life.
You have experienced marriage and it was not a good one , you were the one who faced all the pains , its easier for everyone to make decision , only the person who is actually suffering can understand.
Its your life and you shd make decision abt it esp abt marriage . You r right that u will get married to a person that u will choose , you have every right to be satisfied before u enter into another relationship.
As long as one is not committing any sin its fine to be unmarried!
Re: Why is it considered unIslamic if you don't want to get married (again)?
Dear Dear Dear,
after reading all points of all epople you will get confused someone is bringing jesus and many other examples.
replying openly about your personal life like this openly is also not right as it needs to dorted seriously.
pl send your reply on my mail id this is [email protected]. i can try to see if any one who is also divorcee or widowed person needing to settle down in life looking for someone like you.
When allah has given permission for remarriage then the parents friends or any body for that matter have no say.
[FONT=Calisto MT]It is not befitting for a believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Apostle, to have any option about their decision: if anyone disobeys Allah and His Apostle, he is indeed on a clearly wrong path. (Surah Al-Ahzab, 33:36)
Re: Why is it considered unIslamic if you don't want to get married (again)?
pl dont give one persons*[rabia basri]example if she had disobeyed by not marrying and become dasi and you people make a wrong decision supposed to be good.
Did any of prophets family* didnt marry**.[dont give examples of mistaken people]
you all want to make your own islam rabia or any body are wrong if it against the orders of allah and teachings of rasool[sas]keep in mind and quote only from quran or hadees.
Re: Why is it considered unIslamic if you don't want to get married (again)?
at the end of the day, i've learned that people are never going to be happy with what you have decided to do with your life. if you don't decide to re-marry, there'll be questions as to why you don't. and if you do, they're will be questions..'how did you remarry so quickly' or that you didn't try hard enough with the first marriage. you're damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
you're old enough to decide what's best for you and for your children. no one should decide what you should do with your life, especially after everything that you've already gone through. may you find happiness with whatever path you choose to take.
This topic can be closed as far as I'm concerned, since I've decided to give it a second try if someone suitable for me comes along. :)
If not, it doesn't matter, then Allah will give me someone in Djannat insha Allah who will treat me as a husband should treat his wife.
So, moderators, you can close this topic and if people want to keep discussing this subject, they can start a new thread with a neutral question like: is marriage farz in Islam if you've already been married once?
