The Prophet Muhammad SAW once said, 'Many people get married because they are interested in the wealth, family, or physical appearance of their partner. But, the most important thing is to choose a good partner for their religion.'

The Prophet also reminded us that if humans ignore religion in choosing a partner, then they can regret it in the future.

The Qur'an firmly states that the marriage relationship only deserves to be established between two individuals who have the same moral defamation.

In paragraph An-Nur paragraph 3 clearly states that a woman can only marry a woman or a musyrik.

This shows that adultery has serious social consequences and can limit the choice of a person's life partner.

As in An-Nur (24) he explained that humans will get a life partner that matches their character and quality.

Thus, people with bad morals tend to couple with similar people, while good morals people will find happiness with good people too.

The above Qur'anic verse explicitly details family relations that are prohibited in marriage. Starting from direct blood relationships such as mothers, children, and siblings, to relationships through marriages such as in-laws and in-laws.

This prohibition is a strict law in Islam and aims to maintain the confidentiality of family relations and prevent blood mixing that is prohibited.

The prohibition of marriage with close relatives in Islam is often a question. If the prohibition on marrying other people's wives is quite easy to understand, why are other prohibitions imposed?

The ulama have expressed various views. Some argue that inbreeding can have a negative impact on the physical and mental health of the offspring.

In addition, this kind of marriage has the potential to damage harmonious kinship relations. Some scholars also attribute this prohibition to the protection of the honor and dignity of individuals in the family.

There are also those who see that this prohibition aims to expand the scope of kinship and strengthen the ties of brotherhood in society.
