Question

In Muslim society, which of the following was false in regards to marriage? Marriage was seen as a contract uniting two families. Men were allowed to have multiple wives. Couples had to get marriage licenses in order to wed. Husbands were considered the guardians of their wives

Answer 1

Couples had to get marriage licenses in order to wed is False

Answer 2

Answer:

The false statement is the third option.

Explanation:

'Couples had to get marriage licenses in order to wed' is false because in the Muslim culture marriages are usually pre-arranged by the male oldest member of each family. Sometimes couples are in love when getting married, and sometimes love comes later or never comes.

Marriage ceremonies are officiated by the Maulvi, a priest also called Qazi, together with the fathers of both the bride and the groom. They do not need licenses to wed.
