What is the solution to the large number of unmarried women in society?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
The phenomenon of spinsterhood is attributed to several reasons, such as high dowries, a girl's reluctance to marry early to complete her education, her refusal to marry a married man, and impossible conditions. The problem can be solved by parents focusing on a religious man with good character without exaggerating the dowry. The girl should not delay marriage on the pretext of education; rather, she can complete it while married. And she should not refuse to marry a married man as long as he is capable of being just.
