Late marriage is becoming the norm but why? Let’s explore the real reasons behind delayed marriages and the most effective, faith-friendly ways to handle them.
Marriage is supposed to be a beautiful chapter in our lives. For many, it’s a sacred union that blends companionship, love, and deen. But lately, more people, especially within the Muslim community, are finding themselves asking: Why is marriage taking so long?
If you're feeling frustrated, anxious, or simply curious about the rising trend of delayed marriages, you're not alone. Let's unpack the causes and talk about what we can actually do about it.
So... Why Are Marriages Being Delayed?
We’re Chasing Degrees and Promotions First
Let’s be real, our generation is ambitious. We're focused on education, career milestones, and financial independence. And while that’s great, it often pushes marriage to the back burner.
Expectations Are Sky-High
We’ve all heard someone say, “I want someone who’s religious, rich, tall, funny, and looks like a model.” Sound familiar? Many of us (and our parents) are holding out for the perfect match, which might not even exist.
Weddings Are Expensive (And That Scares People Off)
The pressure to throw a lavish wedding or provide a massive dowry can delay marriage plans, especially for men feeling the financial weight.
Parents Want the ‘Perfect’ Rishta
Sometimes the delay isn’t even in our hands. Well-meaning parents can unknowingly stall things by being too picky or overly cautious.
Our Social Circles Are Limited
If you’re relying only on family contacts to find a match, it can take forever. Without a wider network or platform, finding a compatible partner becomes a long waiting game.
Okay... So What Can We Do?
Start the Conversation Early
Don’t wait until 30+ to talk about marriage. Discuss your goals, preferences, and timeline with your family earlier. It helps everyone get on the same page.
Focus on Faith, Not Filters
A person’s deen, values, and kindness will last way longer than how tall they are or what car they drive. Let’s prioritize what truly matters.
Use the Right Tools (Halal Ones)
Platforms like MubarakRishte make it easier to find a compatible match, without compromising on Islamic values. Technology, when used correctly, can be a blessing.
Talk It Out With Family
If you feel stuck because of your family’s expectations, have honest, respectful conversations. Sometimes, they just need to hear your side clearly.
Make Du’a, Then Take Action
Rely on Allah, yes, but also take practical steps. Keep making sincere du’a for a righteous spouse, but also stay active in your search.
Final Words : Delayed marriage isn’t the end of the world, but it also shouldn’t be a life sentence. By understanding the real reasons and applying both spiritual and practical solutions, we can change the narrative.
You deserve a partner who values you, your faith, and your future. Let’s stop waiting and start moving, with hope, intention, and tawakkul.
