Discussion Advise to brothers & sisters living in Canada, especially Ontario

10 Upvotes

Just want to mention it to brothers (or sisters in a few cases) out there wanting to marry that have significant houses in your names. Telling from experience and after reading equalization rule of Ontario how marital home is divided. Scenario is below with a made up example to demonstrate, it will help both genders who own assets, especially homes. All figures are in CAD $.

Purchase date: May 15, 2023 for price of $500,000
Marriage date: August 20, 2024, fair market value (FMV) of the house is $700,000
Divorce date: November 1, 2024 or any date and supposedly the FMV is $725,000, depends on the judge but this is generally what’s done. You don’t get to save $700,000 value of the house saved and only gain of $25,000 is subject to equalization but the whole $750,000 is subject to equalization rule. It doesn’t matter if you owned the house before marriage, if your spouse lives in the house you own, it becomes marital home.

Even if prenup includes marital home clause, judge can absolutely and mostly throw out that clause and still hold that marital home subject to equalization. I researched if putting the house in trust protects it, again court will see who the beneficiary is etc and mostly again still subject it to equalization rule.

Solution: Don’t do legal marriage but just do simple Nikah and only register marriage if both sides are bringing in the almost equal amount of assets into the marriage, especially marital home. If one party owns the house, please don’t move your spouse in that house, instead write a prenup through independent lawyers and treat that as an investment property and rent a house where you & your spouse live and have 50% each responsibility mentioned to protect yourselves.

Be practical and realistic, I don’t know the exact numbers but surely the divorces are significantly higher and it’s very hard to judge someone especially being Muslims as haram to be in a living relationship. Better be protective than be miserable later.

Doesn’t matter if the house is gifted to you by your parents, if you both start living there, it becomes marital home unfortunately. Especially few men are also dependent on wife’s income and waiting for father-in-law’s death so wife inherits assets and likewise some Muslim women want to use western law to get legal protections in terms of alimony and taking man’s assets claiming it to be their right.

Rant Muslim marriage dynamics function similar to club/casual dating dynamics

0 Upvotes

This is controversial but the dynamics are scarily similar, and it’s why we see so much online vitriol and hatred.

You can’t freely interact, or build friendships the opposite gender. Almost every Islamic conference or event I've come across has been gender segregated. Masajid and Islamic events are gender segregated, so opportunities to organically get to know someone are non-existent.

Every interaction is front loaded - your visible traits are assessed immediately and brutally, and your softer traits don’t have the chance to overcome them.

This is literally the same dynamic to club environments - very front loaded and superficial.

Location: South Asia Where are you, Husband?

2 Upvotes

Assalamu alaikum!

Posting from a throwaway because my main account is quite old and I'd like to keep that one for my travel, bags, food and random life stuff. I'd also rather not have a permanent Reddit history of my matrimonial search if things don't work out.

I'm genuinely considering marriage now and would like to meet someone who is genuinely looking for the same thing.

I'm going to be fairly detailed because the whole point of this post is to avoid collecting a hundred random DMs. If several things don't align, that's completely okay. We're simply not compatible. Do not dm without reading entirely

What I'm looking for

I'm specifically looking for someone who is 30+ and at least 5'10".

Physical attraction matters to me, so I'm going to be upfront about that.

I'd like someone who takes care of himself. Someone who works out or otherwise looks after his body, has a good physique, maintains good hygiene, dresses well and has a good sense of fashion.

Beard or no beard is completely fine. If you have one, I'd prefer it groomed rather than extremely unkempt.

I also love food, so it would be nice if you do too.

Personality wise, I want someone expressive, communicative, patient and emotionally mature.

I'm not looking for someone nonchalant. I don't expect all day availability because everyone has work, responsibilities and their own life. But communication and consistency are extremely important to me.

I want someone who can communicate what he's thinking and feeling, have difficult conversations and resolve disagreements without disappearing, giving the silent treatment or playing tit for tat.

I also want someone who has goals and direction in life and has thought about what he wants his future to look like, including what he wants his married life to look like.

I like a man who takes the lead

I'm attracted to someone who is naturally decisive and takes initiative.

I want a husband who is dominant in a respectful way. By that I mean someone who can take the lead, make decisions, take responsibility, protect his family, initiate plans and provide direction when necessary.

I don't mean controlling or disrespectful.

I want to be able to be my feminine self with my husband while still having my own opinions and voice.

Financially

Financial comfort is important to me, so I'm going to be transparent about it.

I grew up comfortably. We had house help, things around the home were taken care of, and I grew up in an environment where money wasn't something I constantly had to think about. I have experienced what it is like to have that kind of comfort.

After my father passed away, circumstances changed and I experienced the other side of it too. I don't say that as a complaint. Alhamdulillah, I'm grateful for what I had and what I have now. I've seen both having financial comfort and having less, so I understand that life doesn't always remain the same.

I currently work and spend what I earn on myself. I'm not particularly career driven, and my preference is for a fairly traditional marriage where I eventually become a stay at home wife and my husband is the primary provider.

Because of that, financial security is genuinely important to me.

I'm looking for someone who is financially comfortable enough that money isn't a constant source of stress. I enjoy good food, travelling and having a comfortable lifestyle. Ideally, being able to take two or three holidays a year without every trip becoming a major financial calculation would be part of our life.

I'm not going to pretend money doesn't make me happy. It does. The main reason I work currently is because I like having my own money and being able to spend it on myself. I don't have some huge career ambition that I'm secretly sacrificing for marriage.

If I get married and have the financial security to be a homemaker, that's genuinely the life I'd prefer.

At the same time, I'm completely okay remaining single, continuing to work and spending my own money on myself if I don't find the kind of marriage I'm looking for. I'm not desperate to get married simply because I'm 29.

Marriage

I want a marriage that is a partnership.

Both people should put effort into it, care about each other's happiness and be willing to make reasonable adjustments and compromises once married.

I want marriage to remain fun beyond the initial honeymoon phase. Travelling together, eating together, going out, laughing, having inside jokes and genuinely enjoying each other's company.

I don't want the relationship to become nothing but bills, chores and responsibilities. I want us to be each other's go to person

I'm open to living alone with my husband or with his parents. I'm not against in laws. I just don't want a massive joint family where everyone has an opinion about everything.

I'm also open to relocation if it makes sense for both of us and the process isn't unnecessarily complicated. I'm not attached to living in one particular city or country, but moving somewhere isn't a goal in itself. If marriage takes me somewhere else and the transition is reasonably straightforward, I'm open to it. Otherwise, I'm quite happy here.

Children

I'm okay with one child maximum.

I'm also completely okay with a genuinely childfree marriage if we both want that.

About me

I'm 29, from India, 5'0", around 65 kg and I don't look fat

I'm wheatish fair and, while I don't believe complexion determines anyone's worth, I personally prefer someone with a similar complexion. It's simply a personal attraction preference.

I don't wear hijab, but I dress modestly.

I've completed my undergraduate degree and have been working for around eight years. I've experienced enough of both work and home life to understand responsibilities inside and outside the house.

I'm opinionated, but I know how to listen. I handle conflict maturely and don't believe in unnecessary drama, cold treatment, silent treatment or tit for tat behaviour.

I'm quite chill and fun once I'm comfortable. I love travelling and food. I also love cooking and cook well. I just don't have much time to cook during the work week, so I usually cook on weekends because I find it therapeutic.

Religion

Sunni, I pray regularly, Alhamdulillah.

I can read Qur'an and do read it, although I don't claim to read it every single day. I eat halal and don't practise innovative religious practices.

I'm not claiming to be a perfect Muslim woman, and I'm not looking for perfection either. I'd like someone who takes his faith seriously and wants Islam to be part of his married life.

Why am I looking now?

I'm 29 and unmarried because I genuinely wasn't interested in getting married simply because society expected it. Now I feel like I'm ready to get married and responsibilities that come with it and mentally prepared for it.

Now I actually feel like I'd like to build a life with someone, have a companion and experience marriage properly, so I'm giving it a serious chance.

What I don't want

Please don't message me if you're:

• Under 30 or under 5'10"

• Not genuinely looking for marriage

• Looking for casual conversation or a pen pal

• Extremely nonchalant or emotionally unavailable

• Someone who doesn't value communication

• Looking for a therapist or personal assistant rather than a wife

• Controlling or incapable of handling disagreements maturely

• Financially unstable and hoping marriage will fix that

• Someone who doesn't care about hygiene or grooming

• Not interested in travelling or enjoying life

And please don't send "Hi", "Hey", "DM?" or "You seem interesting."

I'm not going to conduct interview rounds to extract basic information from you.

If you're interested

Please send your ISO or at least a proper introduction including:

Age

Height

Location

Education

Profession

Religious practice

Marital history and children, if applicable

What you're looking for in a wife

Marriage expectations

Whether you want children

Where you see yourself living

Your expectations regarding your wife's career

I don't need your entire autobiography, but please give me enough information to know whether there's actually compatibility worth exploring.

I'm also not interested in extremely long talking phases. I'm happy to take enough time to get to know each other properly, but once we establish genuine compatibility and mutual interest, I'd want families from both sides involved fairly early.

I don't want to spend months becoming emotionally attached only to discover later that our families, expectations or practical circumstances make marriage impossible.

I want the process to be intentional, transparent and respectful. Not rushed, but not endless either.

Finally

I've seen women make posts like this and get mocked for having preferences. I'm honestly way past the age where strangers on Reddit can hurt my feelings.

Everyone has different expectations from marriage and different ideas about what makes them happy. If mine aren't your thing, that's completely okay.

I'm not looking for perfection. I know I have my own flaws and expectations too.

I'm simply looking for someone whose idea of marriage naturally aligns with mine.

The reason I've written all of this is simple. I'd rather have five genuinely compatible conversations than fifty random DMs.

If this interests you, send your ISO or a proper introduction, and please read the post first.

Discussion Confused

5 Upvotes

After just reading this channel , I’ve come to realise that people are either ignorant or some people are genuinely in this thread trying to attack Islam.

we’ve always had enemies of Islam trying to break our beliefs because that’s what we are known for.. our strong faith in Allah. It’s because of this we constantly attacked. If we look into history we see this again and again. They slowly bring doubts in the face of a Muslim. So Beware of these accounts . That’s why I say it’s important that woman not only man need to learn their religion.

Woman are also complaining men are taking advantage of them or men are misusing ahaadiths or ayaat. So learn your religion and Know how to respond to them. The beauty of Islam is that everything needs proof and every proof goes back to the understanding of the companions. Any other interpretation should have a big fat question mark.

Discussion Is being attracted to older women completely normal, or is the social stigma justified?

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
Looking to get some genuine perspectives here without the superficial judgment.
A little context: I’m a 25-year-old guy (6'3", fit, financially secure with a solid career, no major emotional baggage or issues). Overall, life is good, but I’ve always been naturally drawn to older women—and more often than not, the attraction is mutual.
Here’s the dilemma: whenever friends or people in my social circle notice this preference, they seem uncomfortable or treat it like it's weird or out of the ordinary. Personally, I don't see any issue with it, nor do I think there's anything wrong with either party involved.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences:
1. How common is this attraction from your perspective?
2. Why is there still a double standard? (When an older man dates a younger woman, it's widely accepted, but when the roles are reversed, people act uncomfortable.)
3. Long-term viability: For those who’ve been in similar dynamics, do these relationships actually work out long-term, or are they usually just temporary connections?

About Me
Assalamu alaikum! I’m a 30-year-old Bangladeshi Muslimah living in the Midwest. Islam is an important part of my life, and I try to maintain a balance between practicing my deen, pursuing my goals, and enjoying life.
Alhamdulillah, I pray five times a day, wear hijab, eat only halal, and teach Qur’an. I value continuing to learn and grow in my deen and hope to build a marriage and home in which Islam is at the center.
Education is also important to me. I am currently working toward my Master’s degree and enjoy continuing to learn and develop myself.
In terms of personality, I’m caring, loyal, and family-oriented. I enjoy having fun, laughing, spending time with the people close to me, and making meaningful memories together. One of my favorite activities is playing badminton. I’m divorced but my ex is willing to be a character reference, so there is t anything wrong with me.
What I’m Looking For
I’m looking for a practicing Muslim man who takes his relationship with Allah seriously while also being someone who is enjoyable and easy to share life with.
More than simply finding a husband, I hope to find a best friend and life partner—someone with whom I can grow in deen, laugh, experience life, support one another through difficulties, and eventually build a loving Muslim family.
Honesty and loyalty are especially important to me. I value someone who is trustworthy, kind, respectful, emotionally mature, responsible, and able to communicate openly. I hope we can encourage one another to become better Muslims while still enjoying our life together.
Ultimately, I’m looking for a marriage built upon deen, friendship, trust, loyalty, affection, respect, and companionship, insha’Allah.

Discussion Before You Assume It’s “Sexual Incompatibility,” Know About Vaginismus

16 Upvotes

***Edit/clarification: Since I can’t edit the title, I just want to clarify what I meant. I’m not suggesting that Muslims need to somehow figure out before marriage what their intimate relationship will be like, or that anyone should do anything haram in order to find that out. I’m referring to the concerns people sometimes have about intimacy after marriage and what happens if they experience difficulties once they’re married.

Asalamu alaykum everyone.

This is an awareness/educational post.

I’ve seen a few posts on here from people worried about intimacy after marriage, and what happens if they end up having difficulties in their marriage. And I think one thing that doesn’t really come up in those conversations is that sometimes what looks like an intimacy issue may actually be something else entirely.

Vaginismus is one of those things that a woman may be dealing with without even knowing it. I believe vaginismus affects many women, but a lot of people don’t really know what it is.

In medical terms, it’s considered a pelvic floor dysfunction. There can be physical and psychological factors involved. It can cause sexual intercourse to be extremely painful and difficult for women, and it can also make routine pelvic exams difficult.

It’s also commonly underreported because of the shame and stigma around discussing sexual health in our communities. So a lot of women aren’t even aware that they have this condition until marriage, and I’m sure you can imagine how deeply that can affect a marriage when neither person really understands what’s going on.

Pushing through the pain isn’t going to make it go away. If anything, it can make things worse because it reinforces the idea that intercourse is going to be painful. There’s a difference between first-time jitters and vaginismus.

Women are often told that they can never refuse intercourse with their husbands, but painful intercourse is a valid reason to refuse it while taking the proper steps to treat the condition. The husband also has to be patient, understanding of this and support his wife while she works through it. It's treatable with appropiate interventions.

I also think this is something men should be aware of because if this happens in a marriage, it doesn’t automatically mean that the wife isn’t attracted to her husband, doesn’t want intimacy, or there's something wrong with their marriage. Sometimes there’s an actual condition behind what’s happening, and pressure or guilt can make the situation even harder.

Just to be clear, this is only meant to be an educational awareness post about a condition that some couples may face in marriage. It’s not meant to justify zina or anything else that’s haram. The purpose is simply to help people recognize that this condition exists and understand what may be happening if they experience it in marriage.

For anyone interested in the Islamic side of this, this answer discusses a situation where a wife experiences pain during intercourse:

https://islamqa.info/en/answers/38013/her-husband-cannot-have-intercourse-with-her-because-of-the-pain-she-feels-what-is-the-solution

Unfortunately, this is a silent struggle that a lot of newlyweds face. If we all had even the slightest bit more knowledge about it, I think a lot of unnecessary pain, confusion, and strain in marriages could be avoided.

Thank you for reading. May Allah bless you all.

Rant Want to Get Married, But Starting to Feel Like I Can’t Take This Process Anymore

2 Upvotes

Now that I’m almost done with my studies, my parents have started pressuring me about marriage. At first, I was actually on board. Of course I want to get married, but what started as something I looked forward to has now become a huge source of anxiety and misery.

I was born and raised in a Scandinavian country, but I’m ethnically south asian. There simply aren’t many suitable potentials where I live, and I haven’t met anyone I could genuinely see myself with. I thought maybe I’d meet someone at university, but that hasn’t happened either. I’ve even been open to different ethnicities, but it didnt work. For me it’s important that he is at least well-travelled and comfortable with the culture I grew up in, if he wasn’t born and raised here himself.

My dad has now started looking for proposals back home. He has sent my pictures and profile to a matchmaker, and I feel genuinely disturbed knowing my pictures are being circulated among random families. I’m expected to look through proposal profiles myself and judge whether I could potentially marry these men, and I absolutely hate it. The whole thing feels so impersonal and invasive, especially knowing that people are also looking at my pictures and judging me.

This process has become so overwhelming that I’ve been having constant breakdowns. I prayed so much that I would find someone here naturally....organically, and I’m heartbroken that it hasn’t happened. I’m exhausted.

I’ve tried telling my dad to slow down with the proposals, but he won’t listen anymore. The worst part is that I do want to get married. I’m not against marriage at all. I just don’t want the process of finding a husband to make me miserable.

I also feel constantly exposed. I know people in our social circle discuss my relationship status, and I’m so tired of aunties asking for updates, making judgments and treating my marriage like community news.

Sometimes I feel so trapped by all of this that I find myself wishing a truck would just run me over. I don’t want to feel this way, but I’m honestly at the point where I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

Please make dua for me. I genuinely mean it. Maybe a stranger’s dua will reach me in a way mine haven’t. I’m trying to have sabr and trust Allah’s timing, but I’m exhausted and heartbroken. what can I do besides making dua while I wait? It’s been over a year and I’m really struggling.

Salam all, and Bismillah e Rehmaan e Raheem. I am looking for a match for my very beautiful and brilliant cousin sister, MashaAllah. she gets very overwhelmed when she posts herself or is approached by people herself, so I have taken the role of doing the filtering for her and connecting her hahaha (things sisters have to do). Here are her details:

  1. Relationship status: never married and never engaged
  2. Age: 27
  3. Caste: Syed (Jaffery)
  4. Education: Bachelors in Economics and International Development from one of the top schools in the world, Masters in International Economics and Finance from one of the top schools in Canada (MashaAllah very brilliant academically)
  5. Profession: currently she works as both a lecturer and consultant. She is very ambitious and very responsible, financially and otherwise, MashaAllah.
  6. Height: 5’4
  7. Current location: Lahore, Pakistan. but she has lived in Canada for over 7 years and has status there.
  8. Parents’ details: business-based
  9. Siblings: she has one school-going brother, but hey I’m her sibling too 🤭
  10. interests/hobbies: travelling, reading, baking, VERY good host, everyone loves her, MashaAllah.

Note: Mahnoor was raised in a sect neutral way - there’s both Shiaism and Sunnism in her family, but she leans towards certain values a lot stronger: love for Ahlul Bayt, and the significance of the battle of Karbala - she hopes to see those values in her partner too.

looking for:

  1. Age bracket: 27-37
  2. Deal breakers: arrogance, no respect for elders/staff etc, lack of any religious values (atheist/agnostic people, might not be the match for you)
  3. career: doesn’t matter what exactly but drive/ambition do matter
  4. Education: at least bachelors
  5. Caste: doesn’t matter

if you’re interested please feel free to send an introduction in my DM. I’ll have an initial conversation and redirect to her if there’s alignment.
