Reality Of Marriage (Haqeeqat Of Marriage)
As replied earlier Islam respects mutual consensus and understanding but for this case both parties will need to ensure that they won’t cross the sacred boundaries that comes with marriage including but not limited to the point that one might look in the wrong direction(outside the marriage) for fulfilling the intimacy needs or adopt such practices of intimacy which are forbidden. Because ultimately Nikkah is the halal way to fulfill the human need and desire of intimacy, not fulfilling it might open a channel for Satan to use. People in Pakistan usually thinks that intimacy is the requirement for Walima ceremony which is a misconception and does not make sense in arrange marriages where 2 unknown people engage with each other. Knowing each other becomes the necessity and baseline for intimacy depending upon the person to person. So if one feels like they need sometime then nothing is wrong with it.
“case both parties will need to ensure that they won’t cross the sacred boundaries that comes with marriage including” Can you elaborate this? Apart from fulfilling their sexual needs outside marriage are there any other boundaries that comes with marriage and Islam teaches them? Also would this be seen in the sense of surah Nisa ayat 29 leaving her hanging? (I’m not asking this question about two marriages just applying that scenario in this case)
