Salaam Imam MY question is that. I am having a difficult time with my family. I wish to marry a girl, who is divorced and who has a small child of 5. I am 26 so is the girl. My parents are not accepting this. They are saying that the girl is no good, since she is a divorcee and the small child will never accept me, even though the small child is happy with me. Mum and dad say to me that this marriage will fail in a years time, if I marry her without my parents permission. Imam what can I do? I wish to marry this person, but my parents are against it. They think what people will start saying if I marry a girl who has a child. she is also from a different cast, parents are not happy about that either, the child still has her father, and they say that will ruin my relationship with the child, even though the child see's me as a 2nd father. Imam is there anything I can say to my parents, from the Quran, or any advice you can give me, to tell them that there is nothing wrong with marrying a divorcee. My mum says she feels it inside that the marriage will fail, she says that if i marry this girl my dad will divorce my mum. I need your help imam, please give me some dua's/prayers i can read, to help resolve this situation and bring peace in the family.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa BarakatuhuAll Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon His Most Beloved, and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam I have said this time and time again. The only way to a successful marriage, is the one where your parents are happy, you are happy, and the person you want to marry is happy. It is no good, if you go ahead, and marry this girl, if your parents are going to divorce each other because of it. That seems crazy! Please, please, take my advice on board. Allah the Almighty has given you a life. You are young. This is your first marriage (if i am correct). Your parents have experienced marriage, and you havnt so why would I not want to try and help you??? This feeling of love, and devotion and the rest of it, will not last long. Trust me. Not as long as your marriage with the correct partner. So make an agreement with your parents, and marry someone who you like, they like, and she likes. It cant get any simpler. You have to try it, and forget the past. Between me and you marrying someone who is a divorcee, is not the same as marrying someone who has never been married. Trust me. Please Allah, guide our brother to do what is best according to you, and prevent him from making a decision which is disliked by you. AMIN. Jazak'allah for your question. Wallahu A'lamu BiththawaabM. Waseem Ashrafi
