I've been wondering for a long time now, how do you know you're truly in love when you only have a short matter of time to discuss as a mahram witnesses all the conversations you have before marriage?
I don't disagree with the idea, it's just... I really despise my culture and I know for a fact I'd be restricted to marrying someone I love; rather it has to be someone my parents love.
I really fear that one day I'll be in the position of forced marriage who can't even discuss my favourite colour to a strict old man who doesn't reciprocate my love. I am only 15 but I have a right to think about this kind of thing, lest I have no idea of a back-up plan in the presence of my future.
I have two older loving brothers who, if I did ask one to witness as a mahram (at a right age, lol) they'd accept it with pleasure.
I'm scared of having to marry someone I don't love. Why does it feel that out of all the Muslims in the world, I can't see myself being in love?
Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) was, of course, in love... He has inspired me into wanting to become an independent woman who cares deeply for my husband.
I am not currently in love but I want to be sooner or later!
Anyway, point is,
are there any duas for a successful and loving marriage for the future?
Also, any tips I could hold onto before I'm ready for marriage?
JazakAllah khairan to all.
