Will the supplication of a woman to be the wife of a man she loved in this world, but did not marry due to special circumstances, be answered in Paradise, in accordance with His saying, the Most High: "Call upon Me; I will respond to you"?

There is no impediment to a man and a woman, who were unable to marry, supplicating that Allah unite them in Paradise. This supplication is hoped to be answered, as Ibn Taymiyyah said: "If a man loves a woman in this world and does not marry her, and he gives her dowry in charity, and asks Allah the Almighty for her to be his wife in the Hereafter, then this is hoped for him from Allah the Almighty."
