Nikah- holiness turns to absurdity

Nikah- the most important moment in everyone’s life. A father hands over his daughter whom he brought up as his life and breath to a new person, to be his forever. They both utter holy words of promise and trust and the purest knot on earth is tied- the nuptial knot. The holiness should be kept up until the very end of their life. And if we consider Islamic preachings, it can be the way either to Jannah or to naar. If we analyze a muslim vivaham which is the wedding of Muslims in Kerala nowadays, it has become more an event of showing off other than a sacred event. The curse named dowry has turned the halal matrimony dealings to haram ways. Also, news about present malabar nikah rituals is much shameful and irritating for cultured muslims in Kerala. What is to be done is to make people aware of what exactly are Islam and its rulings. Only if the ulamas come forward to enlighten their disciples that the society could be changed.
