🧭 Preparation & choosing a spouse · #36
I want to marry to escape family problems. Is this the right course?
Marrying to escape problems is not a firm intention; marriage brings new responsibilities, not an automatic solution.
Every deed depends on its intention, and a decision as big as marriage should be made with a calm mind. If you are facing abuse or serious pressure at home, seek help directly — a trusted relative, a counsellor, or the authorities — rather than relying on a hasty marriage that may expose you to new risks. If you are genuinely ready and the candidate is good, marriage can be a legitimate way out; make sure the choice is based on religion, character and readiness, not the pressure of circumstances. See Counselling.
