{"_id":"668da0290b76658b4c232fcc","title":"Should I get to know a sister for marriage if I don't have the means to fulfill my marriage responsibilities yet?","question":"I've been made aware that a sister is interested in marrying me and I'm interested in marrying her. However, I don't have the financial security to uphold the responsibilities of a marriage. I estimate it may take a few years to do so. During this time span of a few years, should I actively pursue the marriage (get to know the sister and family), or should I withhold contact until I have the actual means to get married? I've yet to contact the sister and my fear is that interest may be lost if too much time passes.","answer":"Avoid contact until you have the means to pursue marriage. It is possible that her interest may wane over time, rest assured that there is no true loss when you relinquish something for Allah.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fdf0b76658b4c2327a6","tag":"Marriage: Pre-Marriage","count":68},{"_id":"668d9ffb0b76658b4c232ade","tag":"Marriage: Roles and Responsibilities","count":56},{"_id":"668d9fdf0b76658b4c2327a9","tag":"Relationships: Potential Spouse","count":44}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:40:09.597Z"}
