Dear Master, a couple have been married by temporary marriage for three years, but have not yet entered into a permanent marriage. Both families are eager for the union and approve of it, but the young woman’s brother keeps obstructing it for various reasons. It seems that he himself once wished to marry, but his family did not consent; now he raises various objections concerning the groom’s personal circumstances and other matters. Despite both parties’ patience and efforts to help him come around through advice from people he respects, nothing has worked. Their temporary marriage is now heading towards separation, yet the young woman’s family cannot make a decision without her brother’s consent, because they fear the consequences.
I have a particular idea about how to address this, and have taken some steps, but resolving the matter calls for a special skill. Only you can break through this impasse and find a solution, bringing joy and happiness to the bride, the groom, and their families. Of course, Satan has been fanning the flames, and his hidden and open hand in this matter is plain to see. With trust in God and your help, I hope this difficulty will be resolved, God willing, and these two young people will be able to begin their life together in their own home. َّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحيمِ
