Re: Would you allow your daughter to date?
Fayz, i understand your point but sometimes parents give too much freedom to children and don’t fulfil their own responsibility enough.
i dont think going through “dating” and such “experiences” is a good thing for any youngster. firstly i think its now allowed religion wise, secondly it distracts a person from studies/career which is unhealthy, and also it can be traumatising and painful and if taken to wrong levels then healthwise dangerous so i would never want my kids to go through that (inshallah).
I mean, parents ka FARZ hota hae to tel their children what’s right and what’s wrong and to guide them. they can’t just assume that their kids are mature and leave everything on them, atleast till a certain age. and even after that there is still some laid back and aloof kind of guidance or atleast feeling of rehnumai from the parents side. so parents have to fulfil that duty.
As for dating, again, its the parents’ DUTY to find a suitable match for their children and introduce them to several different people keeping the likes and dislikes of the children in mind, so why should the children have to date? no one will force anyone to get married to someone but it is the duty of the parents to provide suitable marriage options
If my kids like someone who also seems decent then I wouldn’t have problems, but to encourage the kids to date to find the right one as I have seen some parents doing, I don’t agree with that at all, and I feel that in those cases the parents are not fulfilling their responsibility.
