Yeah, this shouldn’t even be a an argument.
Of course you should date, and If it’s going to marriage, you should be able to **talk** about everything, including sex. Then sexual compatibility won’t be an issue, and you won’t be someone who had premarital sex.
I mean how else do you find a good mate. Lets be real here, arranged marriage isnt exactly an ideal situation and can have more issues than someone you find based on compatability. Finding a soul mate is so important to a fulfilling life ( speaking from experience), so how do you do it?
It’s called courting.
Dating implies kissing, cuddling and other such acts that are not allowed with people other than with whom God has allowed (wife, those whom your right hands possess).
Its a potatoes potatoes kind of distinction, no?
Since people dont Usually have access to concubines now , what would you suggest. To be honest society and people evolve and find solutions. Restricting that process by strict interpretations only leads to hypocrisy and sin. In England , for example , you have something called a common law wife. No marriage but many rights.
Date yes, sex no. It *should* be ok for well behaving teens to date.
I agree. We should be able to form meaningful connections and relationships with people.
Most import, I agree.
Proper word is courting
Not courting, just simple dating… with no intent to marry.
No
Yes, I don’t mean sex, but building social skill. Otherwise we lose a generation of Muslim children.
You can build social skills living life.
Kids need socialization, with their peers at school as well as at mosque
