    No you don't have to. Some sahaba didn't marry.

    And btw, 4 wives is for certain people only. Early commentators said this verse referred to men marrying women who couldnt provide for their kids.

    First, shall we handle the male marriage practices. A Muslim guy would marry any woman who's of the judeo-christian religions which incorporates all sects of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. that's in basic terms while a woman of a non-judeo-christian faith, including Hinduism or Buddhism is to marry a Muslim guy that she would desire to transform. it rather is using the fact adherents of Judaism, Christianity and Islam all worship the comparable singular god. As for women human beings, in a strict Koranic view of Muslim marriage, it could be prohibited for a woman to marry a non-Islamic guy till he converts. it rather is using the fact the guy is seen the chief of the family contributors and the family contributors's non secular doings, and as such it could be available for the female to be dissuaded from her Muslim historical past and perception shape. An exemption that has been touted over the century via particularly some non secular pupils is that if a guy is upheld in the community to a extreme degree that his non-Muslim status has little bearing upon his "righteousness and means to supply a Muslim upbringing for his spouse and childrens" the father of the Muslim woman has the discretion to no count if or no longer his daughter would marry the non-Muslim. it rather is even with the undeniable fact that limited to those of the judeo-christian religions with out exception for different religions with out conversion.

    To meet completing half of your faith, marriage becomes compulsory. Bear in mind, if can do justice and gain permission of ur first wife, u can marry only up 4 wives unlike the Christians and Jews who can marry infinite number of women. Neither can follow the atheists; not marrying and mating with women.

    Morally our way of life is the best!! All thanks to Allah!!

    Usually, parents choose your bride so that they will be able to benefit from it.

    I don't want you to leave your parents or run away. It is sunnah (not compulsory) to marry, so might as well do it.

    Tell your parents that you don't want to marry of their choice. Best choice is to go to the country where your parents want you to marry, find a nice girl and tell your parents about it. Chances are they will agree as the girl will be from a country where they are from. They will most guaranteed, agree.

    Salaam.

    Unless you want to be a virgin for the rest of your life, you will have to marry. Or you could renounce your faith and live a real life instead of blindly following scriptures that simply say they are the ultimate words to follow.
