May Allah reward you greatly. Can anyone direct me to the conditions of nikah kitab? What do the conditions of the man need to be in order to be married. Where can I find this information in Qur'an and Hadith? InshaAllah, this is even more fuel and inspiration to take the Fiqh of Love class coming up soon inshaAllah. I'm engaged, in fact today is my anniversary of engagement, and am ever seeking if marriage is better than engagement at this time but I'm so concerned that my conditions may not be correct for marriage. If anyone could direct me to proper information May Allah reward you for your efforts. Alhamdulillah AsSalaamu Alaikum AsSalaamu Alaikum,

My family dont mind that he doesnt talk to me becasue they feel thats how it should be. But i am so scared of getting married to him, because i have no idea about how he is like. what he likes/dislikes etc. i recently found out that he has a girlfriend who he has been seeing before and after our nikah. she knows that he has gothis nikah with me but i cant seem to do anything about it. His girlfriend gives me a hardtime she shows me pictures and text messages they have been sending to each other. My family know that he has a girlfriend but tell me that hewill change once he gets married but what if he doesnt? i cant talk to him about it because like i said he doesnt talk to me. i told his family but they refuse to believe me. Now i dont know what to do i just worry since my parents are planning to do my rukhsati in a couple of months. is there nothing that i can do? what rights do i have under a nikah? Hi
