Would you marry a physically handicapped person?

Mentally handicaped...no

But physically handicapped....sure...if i loved him...I wouldn't hesitate!

i am almost certain that most of those who answered with a very care-and-loving yes wud think twice before even trying to be friends with a handicapped person let alone marrying one....
i am not God so i can be wrong in my view about others but c'mon guys lets be more honest....

Armughal , I was honest. I ain't no jazbati....(in some cases I do become when I care for someone in a nice way and that person whether from family or friends try to bring me down emotionally) .

Well, if it ever happens it would most definitly be out of love...I think I would like to have pity on a person who has everything yet he is insecure or unsure of himself...

My cousin was deaf (but not dumb). He liked a girl who was also deaf and very pretty. He sent his mother and my parent for 'rishta' of that girl. The girl refused on the basis that she does't want to marry a deaf person, cuz there will be many problems after marraige for both of them for example how they will know if the door bell is ringin and if the infant is crying and similar problems.

So the point is that ke A handicaped person may not like to marry a person with same disablity. And on the other hand a normal person can marry a phisically disabled person depending upon preference and will

Marriage is such a tremendous and
overwhelming commitment in itself at times. But to marry
a handicap person would burn out the normal person very quickly.
Understand that handicap people have special and at times
untimely needs which are more time-consuming than those
of a normal person. A spouse getting sick after marriage
is a completely different case scenario than going out of one's
way to marry a handicap person. There are other ways of
helping them out other than marrying them. Plus people are
generally happier with their own kind.

just to increase knowledge...

many deaf people in america build homes/apt in such a way to deal with this..they have noise sensors that will either buzz/flash lights depending on the buzz/light they know if it's the baby, the door, the phone, etc

a friend of mine is in disability housing and it is amazing the creativity out there in figuring out how to help people...

anyhoo..code_red i agree i would guess alot of handicapped people would want to avoid marrying someoneelse who is handicapped..but then there are otherw who would prefer it...

Would

NO. I woudn't. It gets frustrating even with a normal person after the love fades out, so with a handicapped person, u can imagine how it will feel.

The physical aspect of marriage is important.However what makes us human is not just our body.It might sound cliche - but its whats inside that really matters.

If I actually did care about somebody else- then I dont think their disability would stop me from going ahead and making a future with them. Somebody very close to me actually is disabled, and believe me she means more to me than even my own two bros. She helped me a lot when I was having a tough time with my mother's illness.

A person can make you happy, and give you a lot in life- even while they may be handicapped.

Yep there is sollution for every problem.

The same guy then married to a deaf girl. They had a happy marriage the girl was and is very nice. Allah blessed them with a beautiful girl who is perfectly normal. She can talk and listen very well and also can converse with her mom :)

But still they had problems, when baby was born the mother could't hear her cry at night so had to sleep with her sister in law for some time.

Love doesnt have to fade out.

My parents love each other a lot, and they have been married for 25+ years now.

If you go into marriage thinking love will fade out then dont be surprised.

Nopes!! But i would do anything else to make her/him feel better, they need attention and i would be nice and become friends :slight_smile:
Handicapped people need the feeling of being loved not anybody feeling “sorry” for them Afterall its only their body which has a small fault but their souls are complete :slight_smile:
They deserve equality and good treatment :k:

No, because I´m married already. :)

On a serious note: If my wife would ever become handicapped by an accident or so (Allah na karrai), I would always be there for her and support her in every possible way I could.
