Muslim principles of marrying Al-kitabiyyah and its practice in MalawiAndiseni, All Yusuf 16 August 2012 (has links)
M.A. / Mankind today lives in a predominantly heterogeneous and metropolitan society. At all stages of life, social, political, spiritual, there is constantly a diffusion of cultures, ideas and beliefs. South Africa until 1994 was the only example of a country where the broader ethnic groups were separated from each other. Besides this country, all other countries are exposed to this amalgamation and inter-action with each other on a daily basis. Although a mixed society augers well for the propagation and easy penetration of Islam within the populace, it also has its drawbacks. Allah says: 0 mankind! We created you from a single (pair)of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other (not that you may despise each other). Verily, the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. 1 1 Qur'an 49:13. Upon pondering the deeper meaning of the above verse, Allah has prescribed Taqw& (piety and righteousness) as a means of solving any problem resulting from the interaction of different tribes, races, and nations which could be at times a terribly irreconcilable one. The significant number of Muslims in any given society and especially Malawian Muslim society are ignorant of the Muslim Principles of marrying Al-Kitabiyyah (Woman of the Book). That is why we notice an irretrievable breakdown of many families whose husband happen to be a Muslim and the wife is a Kitabiyyah. This type of marriage has caused, and is still causing many problems to the social life of the Malawian Muslims. Children of these families do not enjoy that status of being under the loving care of both their mothers and fathers because their marriages does not last long. It is from this perspective that "Muslim Principles of marrying Al-Kitabiyyah" was chosen to give right direction for those who wants to marry women of the People of the Book. It deals with one small but significant aspect of interaction-the aspect of inter-marriage of Muslim men with Al-Kitabiyyah.

The nature and causes of marital breakdown amongst a selected group of South African Indian Muslims in the Durban Metropolitan Area and its consequences for family life.Khan, Sultan. January 2001 (has links)
The institutions of marriage and family have existed throughout human kind and
continue to do so as we enter the twenty first century. These are important institutions
that prepare individuals as social actors. The progress of society from its traditional
form to present levels of modernity, has come with many consequences for the
institutions of marriage and the family. This has been witnessed by high rates of
marital breakdown and single parenthood in almost all societies. The causes of
marriage and family breakdown are many, and complex. It is a multi-factored
problem which social scientists and policy makers are battling to come to grips with
since its escalation has enonnous social, economic and political consequences. The
biggest victims of marital breakdown are children. Unless society comes to grips with
this social problem, the institutions of marriage and the family are at risk of
collapsing. For society to continue to prepare future social actors, it is paramount that
these two institutions are preserved. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Durban-Westville, 2001.
