Marriage is a significant institution that has evolved over time, serving as a cornerstone of social, economic, and religious development. This research paper aims to explore the multifaceted significance of marriage, focusing on its role in religion, family dynamics, social cohesion, and economic context.The study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing all hadith according to the speech of the prophet (sm) and the ayaat of the holy Quran that almighty Allah said about marriage. Findings reveal that marriage serves as a vital component in religious practices, providing a sense of community, spirituality, and identity.Spiritual development and character protection have happened through marriage.The prophet (sm) told the sahabi that the religious Muslims would marry fertile women and have more children, and the prophet would show more ummah than any other prophet in the hashore (rising day).Allah declared that mohur is mandatory in Islamic marriage.
