What is the ruling on my marriage; is it valid or void, knowing that my father cursed the religion a year before my marriage while he was very angry, and I also cursed the religion in the past? Did that affect the validity of the marriage?
If the marriage fulfills the conditions of validity, such as the guardian and witnesses, then the insults to the religion uttered by the wife after she pronounced the two testimonies, and those uttered by her guardian after he prayed, do not affect its validity. This is because jurists rule that a person embraces Islam merely by performing prayer. It is advised not to inform the husband of what happened. One must be wary of insulting the religion, as it is among the causes of disbelief, and its perpetrator is not excused by ignorance. Similarly, one must be wary of abandoning prayer, for whoever abandons it is considered a disbeliever by some jurists.
