In Pakistan the marriage is very difficult for poor people because of unnecessary expenses on marriage. The lots of boys and girls but specially girls are not remain unmarried in Pakistan because of unnecessary expenses The Islam teach us to marry in ordinary manner and do not incur unnecessary expenses. The only mandatory thing is Islam for marriage is Haq Mehr (Dower) which is the right of girl and if we study the history of Islam the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) approved Ayat of Holy Quran as dower. The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) keep marriage easy because the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) knew when marriage became difficult there will be increase of unlawful sexual relationship (Zina) in the society. The same thing is increasing day by day in Pakistan and the parents are responsible for this sin because they delay the marriage of girls and boys for one reason and another which are against Islam. In Pakistan, the parents and other family members feel ashamed to ask girl for her choice and when girl like to marriage to any boy they always reject for the reason of respect. The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) after revelation from ALLAH regarding marriage Hazrat Fatima (AS) with Hazrat Ali (A.S) asked Hazrat Fatima (AS) regarding her choice. After revelation from ALLAH it as not important to asked Hazrat Fatima (AS) but Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) to show the importance of consent of girl while marriage asked Hazrat Fatima (AS). Due to the parents the court marriage in Pakistan is increasing day by day and after court marriage the honour killing is also increasing with same proportionate. In Pakistan the society is so materialistic and they don't care about the emotions of others and this all happens because of lack of Islamic teaching in our lifes.
