But my communication with him was not efficient so I spoke with my father and told him I want to get married in the near future. Now my Mom contacted me saying I am shameless and no daughter speaks to her father about marriage directly. My dad never shamed me, but my parents are assuming I have found someone. I never did. I wanted them to start looking or reassure me they are proactive now. Was what I did wrong? Is it haram? Shameful? I feel like I have brought shame upon my family, that is how Mom is making me feel. It's breaking my heart as I stay away from Zina as much as possible, as the Quran says not to even go near it. I do not intermix. Have I done something bad? What does Islam say about this?","answer":"You have not done anything sinful as far as Islam is concerned. Marriage is highly recommended for males and females, so there is nothing wrong with wanting to get married. The response from your mother is more cultural than religious. In some cultures, it's considered taboo for a girl to ask for marriage. However, religiously speaking, there's no shame in a girl expressing her interest in marriage to her parents.","tags":[{"_id":"668da0010b76658b4c232b9d","tag":"Relationships: Parent and Child","count":111},{"_id":"668d9fdf0b76658b4c2327a6","tag":"Marriage: Pre-Marriage","count":68}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:41:00.404Z"}
