CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Background To The Study
Marriage is one of the most intense human relationships. The quality of this relationship is continually redesigned by spouses and is potentially crucial to their overall experience of family life (Pimentel, 2012). The universality of marriage does not mean that everybody in every society gets married. It means only that most people in every society get married at least once in their lifetime. Marriage is one of the universal social institutions. Is established by human society to control and regulate the sex life of human being.
Marriage merely means a socially approved sexual and economic union of male and female. When one reaches marriageable age, he or she subconsciously enters to the spousal supply and demand system in which comparison, selection and marriage occur. It is closely connected with the institution of family. The Quran commands (chapter 4 verse 18) and if you fear that you cannot act equitably towards orphans then marry such woman as seem good to you two, three, four, but if you fear that you will not do justice (between ) them then (marry) only one or what your right hands possess, thus is more proper that you may not deviate from the right course.
Rao (2011)opinedthatgillinandgillin marriage is a socially approvedwayof establishing a family for procreation. Westmarck (2009) has remarked,marriageisrooted in the family rather than the family in the marriage. Whenwe say thatmarriage is universal we do not means that marriage and family custom are thesame in all societies. On the contrary, there is much variation from the society to society on how one marries whom one marries, and how many personone marries.
The universal culture about is that no society permits people tomarry parents, brothers, sisters. The Quran is strongly against marriage ofparents(Quran chapter 4 verse 22): and not marry woman whom your fathers married except that what has already passed; this surely is indecent and hateful and it is anevil way. The familyoften includes more individuals than parents and their immature offering. It may include two or more related married couples and their children. Marriage is an institution of society which can have very different cultures,it purposes, functions and forms may differ from society to society, but it is present everywhere as an institution (Rao2011)
Marriage can be defined as coming together of matured man and woman of intimacy to makea happy home. Every society develops a pattern for guiding its marriage of two persons who may havenever met.In some societies, marriage is romantic adventure with a person who has come to Love.Horton et al(2011) viewedmarriage as the improved social patternwhereby two or more people establishes afamilymarriage, Horton (2011) in his views sees the family as an interaction of husband and wife including the production and socialization of the children.
Hefurther said that marriage is a system of relationship containing inducements which makes member or coupleseither to stayor leave themarriage. According to him, marital inducement is something that is given to a person in order to persuade him /her to remain in the marriage orto quit. To remain in the marriage include theattractivenessormarital union itself, which causespartner to stay together. The inducementto quit theunion includes improper sexual and marriage adjustment.
Oridoroga (2009) expressed that “marriage and hence family are likely to bestable in smaller communities in which primary relationshipspredominates over the secondary relationships, these are characteristics of modern-urban settlement. She further discussed marriage instability in the family is as a result of economic function and this is an important unit of social organization or in any situation where marriage tends to be primarily or economic contangent. Therefore, this research is designed to access the challenges ormarriage in the contemporary period with special reference to girl child Muslim student in Kaduna NorthLocal government area of Kaduna state.
