Ismail ibn Musa Menk - Issues in Marriage

About this lecture

In this lecture, Mufti Ismail Menk addresses the most common causes of marital breakdown, from unfulfilled pre-marriage promises and interference by in-laws to stubbornness, lack of communication, and the failure to protect a spouse's rights. He speaks candidly to both husbands and wives, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, urging every family member to reflect on their own role in either strengthening or destroying marriages. Drawing on the Quran and prophetic guidance, he calls on listeners to commit to making life easier for those they live with, resolving conflicts with justice, and seeking solutions before ever considering divorce.
