Getting married so that the girl can serve the boy's parents

· 11 Safar 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is getting married to someone so that she can make khidmat of his parents correct or should the decision be made more on shahwat for the person?

Answer

It is not the duty of the wife to make khidmat of the parents. If she does it then it is an act of kindness. And if the husband insists then this amounts to forcing.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
