An Ayat of Quran:

“And among His signs is that He has created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquillity with them and He has put mercy and love between your hearts.” (30:21)

In the above verse of the Quran Allah Ta’ala describes the wisdom and purpose of women, that they are a source of peace and tranquillity for man. Every need a man desires from a woman centres around the achievement of this tranquillity.  This is the basis of a successful marriage. The marriage that denies this is an unsuccessful marriage. This peace of mind and tranquillity can only be achieved when both the partners understand each other’s duties, rights and responsibilities and then they fulfil these duties. These mutual rights are of such a nature that no law can truly govern them nor can any system of justice, rule over them. It is merely the fear of Allah Ta’ala and the dread of prosecution in the Divine Court of Justice that can truly spur the couple to fulfil their duties to each other. As an added favour Allah Ta’ala has created such a bond of affection and love between them that it surpasses all legal restrictions and it encourages them towards the fulfilment of each other’s rights.
