Marriage is half of deen: A Bundle of Flowers



Hasten to Marry


The Holy Prophet [s] said: "Verily, maidens are like fruits of a tree; when its fruits ripen and are not reaped, sunshine ruins them and the wind scatters them. Maidens are in the same situation. When they comprehend what the women perceive, there is no remedy for them save a husband. If they are not given in marriage, they will not be secured from corruption, because they are human beings, too. (They have the same human instincts and temperament as others)."


Al-Kafi, vol. 5, p. 337
