Married vs. divorced

 As a normal and sane human being, definitely have a desire to have a partner through a marriage. In my personal opinion, a marriage is a symbol that humans and other beings are different. Another religion, another culture is definitely another form of marriage that takes place. 

According to Islam, marriage is a Sunnah, so every Muslim should facilitate a process of marriage. However, when it comes to Malay culture today, I see the situation is starting to change, the marriage process is seen as something burdensome, especially for the bride and groom.

The cost of weddings at this time, especially in urban areas, is of enormous value. I was just thinking, is it really worth it for a man to spend thousands of ringgit for a wedding ?. There are marriages worth tens of thousands of ringgit, the situation becomes sad when marriages worth tens of thousands of ringgit can only last for a while and get divorced for various absurd reasons.

Based on my life experience for 4 decades, the cost of a wedding worth less than RM10 thousand, can be calculated with a finger compared to a wedding with a cost of more than RM10 thousand. Is the marriage a symbol of grandeur in Malay society ?. When married tell it to the public but when divorced, hide it.

I see at this point, the situation of how difficult it is to get married but how easy it is to get divorced. I wonder, why is there such a situation ?. Marriage in Islam is Sunnah while divorce in Islam is very much hated. To me, if parents play a role when their child marries, then they should also play a role when the child and spouse want to divorce. Don't let go of your hands just like that.

If we refer to the following report:-NST

The number of divorce cases reported, in my opinion, is very alarming. I still wonder, why is it so easy for a married couple to decide to divorce ?. Do they forget how they struggle when they want to get married ?, who is to blame for the divorce ?.

I want to get married but can't afford it, due to financial constraints. It was very sad to hear that there was a divorce among those I knew. There are even couples I know, so friendly their relationship when they were husband and wife but ended up divorcing as if there was no effort on either side to defend their marriage.

I once attended an engagement party, the bride's family initially put the remittance of RM15 thousand, then increased the amount to RM20 thousand just for the remittance. The fact of marriage in Islam has no record of remittances. The delivery alone is only RM20,000, not counting the total wedding cost. It is not impossible to reach the value of RM50 thousand, after several years of marriage suddenly divorced.

Will this situation continue ?, the harder it is to get married and the easier it is to get divorced ?. Who is affected? Of course children when a divorce occurs.
