This is a great blessing of the  Almighty for us, however like His other worldly blessings, we are free  to take it or to make ourselves deprived from it. <\/p>\n<p>Deciding not to marry is certainly not a sin, however it  will be denying ourselves of one of the most significant blessings of  the Almighty. A blessing that can have tremendous effect on our well  being in this world, and can also be indirectly influential in our  spirituality and therefore in our position in the hereafter. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Farhad Shafti<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2014-12-06<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6168\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it  mandatory for a Muslim girl to marry if she is not taking any initiative  and not showing interest to marry and she is mature to decide about her  life?
