By platonic you mean no love and no sex?
I mean that's basically friendship?

If it's what you're looking for then you're best off looking into asexual dating apps. People who are using these sites are typically looking for something similar.

Do you think someone you marry would settle and agree with just a platonic relationship? Or would it end badly?

Well probably not no, nearly all men (and women tbh) would expect and want sex from a relationship or marriage.

Would you say it could then lead to abuse?
What should be done for people in this position?

While a marriage is more than physical contact and romance, if those are expected by one of the people and there isn't clear communication, then it could lead to very negative consequences i.e. abuse.

If both people in the marriage want a platonic relationship (and maybe got married to please their families/for convenience), then that would be more likely to work out positively than if one party was misled/wasn't happy with that arrangement.

That sounds quite scary now to be honest!

How about if the woman does not want to but the man does?

If you are someone who wants a relationship but not sex, I second looking into asexual dating apps/websites.

From personal experience, having sex when you don't want it does eventually end up feeling like abuse. I chose to end my relationship because of it and I am much happier being single and not being put under that pressure.

I'm pressured to be in a relationship with a man, I wouldn't mind a platonic relationship but I couldn't deal with intimacy- it would have a negative effect on my mental health!

I would like to but with a woman but I cannot due to religion as well as my family not accepting homosexuality.

I know of "Muslim" couples (e.g. a gay man and a lesbian), who agreed to a marriage of convenience with each to keep each others families happy. (who are none the wiser). With families, they put on a united front... but in private, they do their own things (literally lol)

And no, my family have found me someone .. who likes me.
Also, its hard to find a gay Muslim man, that too of a similar age... also there family would like to visit mine and see each other and then would expect us to have children and all that.
Why would a gay Muslim man be any different to a straight Muslim man? Why could you not have a platonic relationship with either of them?
Thanks.

And I'm guessing she could have artificial insemination (or they grit their teeth and have sex purely for breeding purposes lol)
