A brother's response to my article on finding a spouse
November 15, 2009 - 4:57pm — josSo, as I mentioned, a brother wrote me following my article on Finding a Muslim Spouse. He does not believe there are a lot of single Muslim available. In his words:
"The question remains Zarinah why did the Imams marry non-muslim women if there are tons available? It makes me question whether there are tons available. If that is the case where are they? Where is the list? Is tons a figure of speech or are there really tons? Do you know tons that are single and looking? Until I see tons it's a myth. So this is why I am going this route and from what I see unless I am wrong and I am willing to listen the Imams had to do the same thing. "
My response was that just because some Imams marry non-Muslim women doesn't make it a good practice for the community as a whole! I can name 25 single sisters in under a minute! What do you think?
