The complete woman is the one who fulfills all three of these responsibilities with excellence. MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE Social progress starts at home and takes root when a man and a woman unite in marriage. In the view of Islam, marriage is a serious and meaningful commitment—not to be taken lightly. Before Marriage It is narrated from Jabir ibn Abdullah that the Prophet of Islam said: “When one of you proposes to a woman, if he is able to look at her to see what might incline him toward marrying her, he should do so.” (Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith No. 2082) Mughira ibn Shu‘bah reports: “I proposed to a woman. The Prophet of Islam said to me, ‘Did you look at her?’ I said, ‘No.’ He said, ‘Then look at her, for this is more likely to create harmony between you.’” (Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah, Hadith No. 17388) After Marriage Abdullah ibn Umar narrates that the Prophet of Islam said: “The most disliked permissible act in the sight of God is divorce.” (Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith No. 2018)
