What is the wisdom behind menstruation ceasing for women at menopause and their inability to conceive? Is it Islamically permissible to preserve eggs as a precautionary measure, along with belief in divine decree and destiny? Are there any supplications to remove deep-seated resentment towards family?
Menopause has great wisdoms, among them that a woman's strength weakens and her activity and health decline. If she becomes pregnant at this age, her life would be threatened. It is Allah's wisdom that a woman's youth be the time for childbearing.
Parents preventing a girl from marrying under the pretext of family care is an injustice and a sin. It is not permissible for a woman's guardian to reject a suitable suitor merely out of whim. If he does so, guardianship transfers away from him. If all guardians refuse to marry her off, guardianship transfers to the ruler. If it is impossible to find a Muslim ruler or his deputy, then a just Muslim man may marry her off with her permission.
Storing eggs in special banks for later fertilization involves risks, including the lack of assurance that these eggs will remain preserved in embryo banks. There are strong possibilities of them being mixed up or tampered with, which would lead one into sin and expose one's lineage to confusion. Therefore, it is not permissible to undertake this action.
To solve the problem of grudges against family, the cause, which is delayed marriage, must be removed. This is done by taking the means to marry, removing their obstruction through the judge, seeking Allah's help, and asking Him to grant a righteous spouse and good offspring.
