Marriage is also a means of widening the area of one’s relations and developing affinities between different groups of the various societies – between families, tribes and nationalities. The Prophet (PBUH) has said:
“Matrimonial alliances (between two families or tribes) increases friendship more than anything else”.
Marriage acts as a bridge between different families, tribes and communities and has been instrumental in the absorption of diverse people into a wider affinity. In practice, marriage played this role in the early Islamic period as well as throughout Islamic history and in all parts of the world.
