How do muslims get married?

I want to get married when im older like 21+ (im 17 now)
I was wondering, i know dating is haraam, how would one seek marraige?
I dont have any male friends and dont speak to them.
how can i get to know a person is a good husband/wife without doing something which could lead to haraam stuff.

I'm 16 and female. I don't know, i've never really thought about it tbh however, i believe if a guy seems interested in you he'd show you signs. You could talk to them as if your friends and if you think you've got some qualities you like about each other you can tell your families to meet each other...

You're only 17 - You can think of that later :smile:

I'm 19 and I'm still not thinking about it :biggrin:

Meeting the one will eventually happen. You don't need to go out and look for it :redface:

Yup <3 i agree, it's whatever fate holds. If you meet the guy at Uni, you could be friends and then ask your family to meet each other?? i dunno. It's complicated in getting to know each other without dating.

Most of my muslim friends talk to girls and get to know them, hang around and go out in groups as friends -> relationships (date them but no physical action) -> marriage.

I think a lot of muslim ignore that dating is not allowed

Not Muslim but usually man and woman meet at work/school and talking. If one of you is interested then you can arrange for your families to meet each other. The man and woman can get to know each other by going on chaperoned dates or by going out as a group with friends/family.

If you don't know any guys you're interested in, you can ask a family member or friend to set you up with someone.

Hope this helps

usually family gets involved and they look and find someone for you to agree with

Well, I've heard that when you're at the right age, your parents give you a catalogue with all of your opposite gendered cousins and family friends to which marriage would benefit your family and "you" in this case your parents select the most suitable person and call the Iman to get you married.
