Women Marriage Pakistan

Women marriage Pakistan depends upon religion Islam because Pakistan is Islamic State. Islam is a strong advocate of marriage. There are no religious clerical appointments where one must be celibate like for example a priest or nun.

The prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said "There is no celibacy in Islam." The prophet has also said, "Marriage is my tradition whosoever keeps away from it is not from amongst us".Women Marriage in Pakistan is a moral safeguard as well as a social building block. Through marriage, families are established and the family is considered to be the fundamental unit of our society.

Furthermore, marriage is the only valid or halal way to indulge in intimacy between a man and a woman. The best description of describing the closeness of the spouses to each other is the Qur'anic verse which says:"They are your garments and you are their garments" (Surah Al Baqarah 2:187)

Women Marriage Issues in Pakistan

Several researchers have identified changes in nuptiality behaviour in Pakistan, in terms of a rise in both the average age at marriage and changes in cohort nuptiality. One researcher observed a slight decline in fertility and attributed it to a rise in the age at marriage in the late Seventies, but his observation was found to be an artifact of data and was, therefore, refuted.

Thus, nuptiality behaviour has been noted to have changed in Pakistan since the Fifties with no notable accompanying changes in marital fertility. The impact of modernization, particularly of expansion of education and modern sector employment, urbanization and migration, on proportions never married in various age groups are causes of delayed marriage issues in Pakistan.

Women Marriage in Rural & Urban Areas of Pakistan

In rural areas women Pakistan usually get married in early ages between 15-20 because of illiterate background and strict moral values and another important factor is less education. Sometimes early marriage causes problem for women after marriage.

In urban areas of Pakistan that there is a greater trend for selecting marriage partners closer in age than was the case previously. The possible cause of this may be that Pakistan women are more likely now to be able to postpone marrying, or that they can attempt to resist unwanted marriage proposals because of lesser social pressures and greater chances of schooling and employment opportunities.

In urban areas, this change is likely to be more pronounced, as there may be increased chances of marriage outside the kin group or biradari. Although, by and large, Women marriage in Pakistan are still arranged by parents (which reflects the family influence on nuptiality behaviour), the evidence from other studies suggests that some degree of personal involvement in mate choice has begun to occur, particularly in urban areas.
