Islamic marital practices
(Moved from my talk page to here Malick78 (talk) 21:27, 20 October 2010 (UTC))

I ran across your edits in recent changes. The scope of the above article seems to be that of marriage ceremonies and customs relating to finding partners. The material you've added would be more relevant in Islamic marital jurisprudence. Oore (talk) 21:52, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

You'll also want to take a look at Islamic sexual jurisprudence. Be sure to use a reliable secondary source as answering-islam is self-published, and the Qur'an is a primary source. Oore (talk) 22:14, 19 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, the name of the article has a wider scope than the intro sentence. One of them should therefore change I'd guess. Don't you think?


 * Btw, sending people in the edit summary to my page to discuss the edits is probably not a good idea. Editing should be discussed on the article's talk page. Let's do this there :) Malick78 (talk) 21:22, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, you're right. It seems that the article was originally entitled Marriage and wedding customs in Islam, which I think is more clear, before it was changed. But I don't think this article should be expanded to include what is and what is not allowed within Muslim marriages, as that would become redundant with the other articles.

= Community programs = This section has several weasel words had no wikilinks and only referenced muslimmarriageevents.org.uk, which leads me to believe that this is covert advertising for that one organisation. Also, aren't wiki editors supposed to not use primary sources? AadaamS (talk) 05:25, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It also references a dating site. I think there's a lot of primary sources and dubious information sources in here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.168.62.184 (talk) 15:58, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

= Seriously? = Parts of this article read like a joke. The bride rides a camel to the groom's house? I live in the middle east and I have never seen anyone riding a camel, let alone a woman in a wedding dress. We really need an expert in here. 207.132.224.130 (talk) 12:57, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm going through and trying to fix up grammar, but there's some dubious stuff in here. This article really needs a clean-up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.168.35.60 (talk) 23:42, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The article now says the camel riding happens in "the earliest versions of Bedouin wedding ceremonies". -- Beland (talk) 20:36, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Questionable Source
The 10th source on this page doesn't seem reliable; all it says is that "Both male and female homosexuality are forbidden in Islamic law (though only male homosexuality is explicitly condemned in the Koran). In premodern Muslim societies homosexuality was widely tolerated, and even celebrated in literature." I cannot find anything else about it being prohibited or the reasons behind it, nor a specific, generally agreed-upon verse. There also may be some plagiarism issues, as the sentence is directly copied from the book. Consider removal? Wrennnnn (talk) 01:13, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * The source is an encyclopedia published by an imprint of Gale (publisher), which meets the criteria for reliability. The summary is generally accurate, though the traditional legal perspective on female homosexuality appears to be relatively obscure. There's much more information on this topic in LGBT in Islam.

Mut’ah and Misyar
I landed on this page from the article on the Shia-Sunni divide which references the marital practices of Nikah mut’ah and Misyar. It seems like a big oversight that neither of these practices are referenced in this article (especially as the other article links directly to this). It may be worth adding a types of marriage section (and the polygamous marriage info could be included there as well). WhichLightning (talk) 19:40, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
