Marriage Contracts and Their Applications in both the Jahiliyya and Islamic Era

Abstract

There are differences in marriages between Islamic marriage contracts and Jahiliyya Era marriage contracts. Islam abolished certain applications of marriage contracts of Jahiliyya and added certain new applications to marriages. The marriages at Jahiliyya had the following conditions: Girl is asked for the marriage with his father’s consent, a dowry (mehr) to be decided, and the presence of witnesses. It was similar to a commercial act, and it was almost identical with an Islamic marriage contract. The biggest difference between them was the status of the dowry; at Jahiliyya era, the guardian (wali) of the girl / woman had the right to get the dowry, but in Islamic era, the dowry was girls’ right.We also see the abolishment of some Jahiliyya marriage contracts. When we examaine our sources, se see that there were marriages that were considered as Jahiliyya era marriage but in fact they are different than those people’s applications, and also Islam considered them as fornication (zina).When we look at the Jahiliyya marriages that were abolished by Islam, we notice that Islam targeted important social changes by abolishing certain marriages of that time.Marriages that depending on the hegemony of the Arab society of the time, and the marriages that were harming the dignity of the relatives were banned. In fact, some of them were zina in nature, (fornication) and were not even been accepted by the whole Arabs of the time, and some types were not common among all tribes, and they were showing changes depending on the region and tribes. Depending on the social status of the woman, they used to be subjected to some injustices. In all those marriages, like marriage with step-mother, or marrying with two sisters at the same time, it is obvious that injustices were obvious. By banning of these kinds of marriages, injustices were cleared.Some marriages in Jahiliyya were marriages that legalize of being together of a man and a woman. Islam accepted some of them, or replaced some of them with new regulations or rejected and banned some of them
