Abstract

In Islamic worldview, marriage is a social institution that facilitates the creation of a family. Therefore, in Islam, the institution of marriage always intended to be a lifetime commitment, though it can be dissolved if it fails to reach it goals and objectives. Divinely speaking, it is important to remember that, in Islam the first institution of Marriage was the union of Adam (p.b.u.h) and Hawa (Eve) that eventually produced the children and offsprings.. Furthermore, the prophetic tradition has urged Muslims to get marriage if they can, and considered the marriage as one of the path of Prophet Muhammad (the role model of the Muslim Ummah), because it is only through this contract of Marriage, a productive and healthy Muslim family can emerge. Based on this fact, this article will explore the marriage in Islamic perspective. Yet, the Quranic approach will be applied as a primary source, followed by some scholarly books and articles written by various Muslim Scholars on the subject. Finally, the brief conclusion and some recommendation will be provided.
