URDU: نکاح کی اہمیّت ،فضائل و اقسام اور جدید مسائل ، تعلیمات نبویّہ کی روشنی میں

Marriage is a contract between two mature and responsible individuals. Nikha is the most significant part of Islamic marriage ceremony. It is an agreement between husband and wife in form of contract. It has been clearly mentioned in the Holy Quran and in Hadith. Sex is a need of every human species. In order to differentiate between human beings and animals, Islam has presented the marriage contract in a form of nikha to legalize sex for Muslims. In the sphere of life, husband and wife are like two wheels of a cart in which they share equal rights and responsibilities. The Holy Quran has clearly stated these rights and responsibilities which are given to both these genders. If a woman wants to terminate her nikha or if she wishes to get separated from her husband, she has given the right of Khula just like the male who has the right to dissolve his marriage by giving divorce.

Humanist Weddings in Poland: The Various Motivations of Couples

There has been a recent increase in the popularity of humanist (individualized and mostly secular) marriage ceremonies in Poland. The propagators of humanist weddings consider these rites of passage as an alternative to both civil ceremonies, which are seen as “bland” and “template,” and also to their religious, especially Catholic, counterparts. The conducted research reveals the various motivations of people who decide on a humanist marriage ceremony. In addition to “nonreligious” or “antireligious” motivation, the analysis also pinpoints “anti-institutional,” “individualistic,” and “practical” motives. The paper analyzes these various motivations. It additionally addresses the issue of the individualization of humanist weddings and the limits of this process. By drawing upon Neil Gross’s distinction between regulative and meaning-constitutive traditions, I argue that while humanist ceremonies are a sign of the undermining of the regulative traditions and their power, couples still deploy meaning-constitutive traditions to anchor their ceremonies.
