If the potential has the characteristics you are looking for- age should not then be a problem InshaAllah...

Age isn't a problem, some are elder than their wives and have no idea how to act it.. some are younger and have more of a sense of what it is to be a husband.. vice versa with wives.

Good stuff.. I think many women get discriminated against because of age when it comes to marriage.. It's like once you hit a certain threshold 30+ if you aren't married by then, you're looked upon as a "past it".

When the times comes for me, Insha'Allah, I would prefer a Muslimah my age, or a few years older. I don't want one younger. But there are always exceptions to the rule

I want one the same age.:inlove:

But younger and older(by a couple of years) is Ok too.

Every age has it's good points.

As we know, the Prophet (saaw) married both young and old :)

Yes, that's a good point... but I'll have only 1 husband (insha'Allah) and younger men just don't give me that feeling of "security" and stability... and I usually do not find very young looking men attractive at all.

This is just my opinion of course.

her age does not matter has long as she is not 4 years older than me. I had to input an age range for personal preferences. As far as the look goes, my mind must be so messed up that I don't it does not matter to anymore. as long as my kids are healthy, thats fine.
There is already a topic exactly similar to this one, it may have been locked

Age is nothing but a number. I don't see how age really matters, unless the female is 20 and the male is 15. Then under the law there would be a problem and she'd go to jail.

Salaam to all,

Inshallah its good to have wife who is at least five or six year younger than you.

But if she is older than me, still doesn't make any difference.

Jazakallah

10-03-08, 10:45 PM
Personaly a hubby a few years older is better i think...although there is nothing wrong if the wife is older than the husband. The prophet :saw: married women of different ages. Its a personal choice i guess.

Older or younger, makes no difference...

Abu Mus'ab

well if i had to be myself i'd say "oi there aint no option for those who aint getting married" but to stick to the topic i guess i'd see if such a time ever comes, it's not like i'm going to put out marriage requirements and stuff, so things like this doesn't matter to me.

MashAllah it appears that a lot of people on this forum are open minded, either that or they may change their minds in reality. A lot of people would also consider a divorcee mashAllah:

http://www.ummah.com/forum/showthread.php?t=156498&highlight=divorce

The problem is that in reality this is not the case. A lot of people don't want to marry divorcees or they don't want to marry a brother younger than them or won't marry a sister older than them. Reality is different and in reality most people wouldn't. I don't think the polls reflect reality.

the ultimate choice lies in the taqwaa of the individual..why look at age? age will fade..the asset lies in the strength of the islamic character.same with looks,

How exactly is it the same when only 6.12% of the votes (from brothers) state that they wouldn't marry someone older compared to 22.45% of sisters voted they would not marry someone younger?

Thing you have to understand is that those sisters might be very young, 15, 16, 17 18 etc. I think it's understandable at that age not to want to marry someone younger than yourself (for sisters). I mean it takes longer for bros to mature especially nowadays. People in general due to culture and society act younger than their age.

Exactly. I am going to be 17 in June Insh'Allah and my husband is 25.

Ultimately the sisters who don't mind getting married to a younger bro.....is roughly the same as ......brothers who have no problem marrying an older sis.

In reality it may or may not be different.

I agree..a person can feel that they can do this or that there is nothing wrong in doing this but they feel different when put in the situation.

It is easy to be open minded when we are not committing to anything. Funny that on this website, many brothers say they don't mind older than them but then in real life, most Muslim bros generally want a woman between 5 to 15 years their junior.
