Question:
Can someone single get married in Yemen? Is it hard to get married?
Answer:
بسم لله الرحمن الرحيم
Alhumdulillah, many of the foreigners (people from the West, Africa, Asia, Europe) have gotten married here both to Yemenis and to other foreigners (some to multiple, alhumdulillah there is a brother here from the West with 3 wives and nearly 14 children Allahumabarik) . So yes, marriage is possible in Yemen, in fact there are many advantages to doing so. One for example is that she has already been living here so she is accustomed to her surroundings, her family is also here so there’s no need to go back to the west to “visit her parents”. So in this it aids one in his Hijrah (for the future) and makes his studying a lot easier alhumdulillah.
The most important thing one needs to get married here is a Tazkiyyah (references). A father will allow his daughter to marry a man who is known to be righteous alhumdulillah. And this is found out by references, alhumdulillah if there are from the Ikhwa that can be a reference for you - alhumdulillah. One way to aid this is to remain in one place, this enables brothers to get to know you, so they can vouch for you.
Additionally, you can find very righteous amongst those here alhumdulillah, those who grew up without the fitnah of Social Media/Netflix/YouTube. Many of which have never had a mobile phone, the custom for some is that when married, the husband buys her a phone so that he may contact her. But before this, she did not own a phone alhumdulillah. Additionally the norm here is that those practicing cover their face, eyes and hands. As for those who show THE EYES ALONE, the people classify her as “Awaam”, not practicing/salafi - normal folk. The people here are apon their true nature in Gender roles, and Men and Women understand their place and responsibilities.
NOTE: One must remember this is not ALL women in Yemen, I am just highlighting some of the Customs that still can be found. Also remember that one must be patient in finding a wife, have good thoughts of Allah. It is easy for Allah to grant you a righteous wife, so turn to Him sincerely ask Him to make this affair easy for you
May Allah grant us righteous spouses, and allow us to be a means for our future spouses to attain Jannah.
جزاك الله خيرًا
