Abstract

In Islam, social life is based on Nikah (marriage) which is a sacred religious contract. This sacred contract has multiple objectives in an Islamic society: couples fulfil their sexual desires in lawful way, seek inner comfort and peace, human life comes into existence, children are brought up and educated under parental care. Islam has made marriages very simple and easy so that people may get into this social contract of marriage and pass happy and healthy lives. Unfortunately, in our society marriages witness unnecessary expenditures. A survey is conducted in rural areas of district Kotli, Azad Jammu & Kashmir (A J&K). Results of the survey indicate that a wedding ceremony in a poor family costs more than eight to ten lac, a middle-class family spends approximately fifteen to twenty lac rupees on a wedding function, while a rich family spends more than 5 million rupees on this function. It has been observed that people make lavish expenditures on marriages due to their ignorance regarding Islamic teachings in this context and unnecessary societal traditions. As a result, heavy amount of wealth is destroyed and those who cannot afford these unnecessary expenditures and financial burden may remain unmarried & indulge in immoral acts, poor are overburdened with loans which result in stress, anger and anxiety that may lead to depression. Daring steps are needed to be taken in order to control tendency of making unnecessary expenses on weddings so that people may cherish this Sunnah of Nikah and spend their lives according to teachings of Islam
