Question:
Salam aleikum
As it looks like her family refuses a marriage between us completely! How could I persuade somebody who refuses completely? And if that doesn’t work how could I persuade her to marry me without the agreement of her family? If you know how to speak you can persuade a woman to everything! But my problem is that I don’t know how to speak! She is a divorcee and she is “old” so maybe she will never find a husband again because it’s also tradition there that a woman has to wait until a man asks for her hand and it’s a tradition in her family that all her ten brothers have to agree, so it will be very difficult for her to marry again and and even more so to find a husband who would be suitable.
Wassalam
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Male chauvinism is from Jahiliyya (time of ignorance). Once you outgrow it you will be ready for marriage insha-Allah.
