Comment on An Open Letter to Mr. Single-and-Looking by Ahmed

Great article! masha’Allah to you sisters.

At the end of the day, it’s all about the priorities and I have seen too many men who regret marrying a woman solely because she was beautiful and have either suffered themselves or had children who were raised poorly by such a woman.

I am not saying that all beautiful women are vain, but many men are more willing to overlook character/personal deficiencies when the woman is very beautiful.

Sometimes a man doesn’t even marry a woman HE thinks is beautiful, he marries a woman that society THINKS is beautiful (e.g. fair-skin)…..so is he marrying a woman that appeals to him or appeals to society/family norms/customs.

Birds of a feather flock together, and maybe vain women are for vain men……when you add to that children take many of the qualities of their parents it can make for very bad offspring.

There’s a proverb in my country that says: “A man can help his children only once in their life and that is when he is selecting their mother.”

If a man choses a woman only based on her looks, it’s a serious gamble and he does so at his own peril.

If you want good children, you need a good mother…..

Wow..very well written and articulated! I feel bad though, sometimes those lame standards of height, beauty and skin tone are set upon the potential grooms by their parents. Sometimes the sons really do just want a pious wife, but it's his parents that want the trophy-daughter-in-law. In the end, they're making their own lives difficult in their pursuit for the near impossible to find.

Hehe, Ameera, I don't know where Abu Ibrahim is from, but the best answer for the 'short' height requirement would be that in this part of the world, average heights are below 6. So if a man himself is below 6, he would want his wife to be even lower than that lol! Superficialiaty is ofcourse a given in all this.
