The spinsterhood between Islam and Psychology (English only)
Note: Due to the large number of links from both East and West
analyzing the issue of the spinsterhood and finding appropriate solutions, we
extend our thanks to everyone from whom we have taken even a word. Please
forgive us for not mentioning their links.
First: The Meaning of Spinsterhood
The articles used the term "unusa," an Arabic word
meaning "a branch that withers and becomes useless," roughly
translated as "spinster." This term is no less derogatory and
offensive than its English counterpart, yet it remains widely used, even in
Arab academic circles. Its official definition appears to be any woman (not a
man) over the age of 30 who has not yet married.
Second: the Statistics
Numerous statistics indicate high rates of spinsterhood in Arab
countries, which pride themselves on their adherence to religion and customs
that encourage and promote marriage. Spinsterhood has also become one of the
most serious social problems troubling the Lebanese, given the difficult
economic conditions they have experienced over the past two years.
Lebanon Ranked
According to a statistical study issued by the World Health
Organization, Lebanon topped the list of Arab countries with the highest rates
of spinsterhood, the highest in the Arab world at 85%.
UAE
The number of unmarried girls in the UAE exceeded 75%.
Iraq
Iraq ranked second in the Arab world in terms of high rates of
spinsterhood, due to its impact on security, economic, and political
instability. The spinsterhood rate reached 85% for both sexes.
Tunisia
Tunisia's Ranking in Spinsterhood Rates: A video recently
circulated on social media about the ranking of Arab countries in terms of
spinsterhood rates. Speakers in the video stated that Tunisia ranks first in
the Arab world in terms of spinsterhood rates, at 81 percent.
Syria
Syria ranked third in the Arab world in terms of the high rate of
spinsterhood. The war in Syria, along with migration abroad and forced
displacement within the country, has affected the Syrian people, with the rate
of spinsterhood reaching 50 percent for young men and 60 percent for young
women.
Egypt
According to another survey, 60 percent of young men in Egypt
reject the idea of marriage, while there are approximately 12 million
unmarried women over the age of 35, in addition to 2.5 million young men in the
same age group. The 2021 Egyptian Family Health Survey shows that the number of
Egyptian families stands at 25.8 million, with 880,041 marriage contracts
recorded, representing a rate of 8.6 per thousand people.
UAE
The rate in the UAE reaches 75 percent, with 175,000 unmarried
women. The rates are similar to those in other Gulf countries, with Saudi
Arabia reaching 45 percent and Bahrain reaching a low of 25 percent.
Palestine
The lowest rate of spinsterhood in the Arab world: Some say,
"If you want to find your life partner, all you have to do is be
Palestinian or travel to Palestine, which has the lowest rate of spinsterhood
in the Arab world."
Third: Some Causes of the
Problem
The Lack of Trust
This means that as people have become more distant from one
another and their estrangement has increased, especially in large, crowded
cities, and extramarital relationships have become more prevalent, many young
men and women have lost confidence in finding a suitable life partner. This is
especially true for those who have become involved in such relationships and
have come to believe that there are no chaste girls or upright boys.
The high cost of living and the difficulty of finding housing.
The high unemployment rates.
Higher education rates for women, especially in urban areas.
Girls' preoccupation with work or employment and dissatisfaction
with suitors (girls going out to work).
Low wages for young men.
Destructive wars
that claim the lives of thousands of young men, increasing the
ratio of females to males.
An increase in the number of female births.
Confronting the media
This is achieved through the following: Advocating for women's
equality with men. Combating and criminalizing polygamy. Disseminating
pornographic images and pornographic films. Encouraging friendship between the
sexes and imaginary love between young men and women.
The begaining of the Solutions
1- The Challenges of Spinsterhood and How to Overcome Them
The First Challenge: Exclusion from Social Circles
Spinsterhood can lead to feelings of exclusion in social circles
revolving around spouses or families. Activities and events often revolve
around spouses or children, making it difficult for spinsters to fully
participate or feel included. This feeling of exclusion can exacerbate feelings
of loneliness and isolation, exacerbating the difficulties associated with
spinsterhood.
To overcome this challenge, it is essential to:
Build a Support Network
Surround yourself with a strong support network of friends,
family, and like-minded individuals who understand and appreciate your journey.
Look for support groups, online communities, or mentoring programs specifically
for single women.
Please take a look at this link (Capable and Determined Women),
which includes several initiatives in several Arab countries
The redefining Relationships
Realize that meaningful connections can exist outside the confines
of traditional romantic relationships. Build deep and fulfilling friendships,
strengthen family bonds, and engage with a supportive community. Focus on
quality relationships rather than societal expectations.
Celebrate Your Independence
Embrace and celebrate your independence. Focus on the freedom and
independence that comes with being single. Use this time to explore new
opportunities, travel, and pursue your ambitions without compromising your
dreams or desires.
Challenge 2: The Single Stereotype
Have you ever heard of the concept of "last-resort bias"
in marketing? This cognitive bias refers to the fact that consumers often
perceive the last items on the shelf or in a store as less attractive or of
lower quality compared to the rest of the available products. This bias can
influence consumer behavior and decisions, leading them to ignore or devalue
the last items on the shelf. They may believe that since others haven't chosen
these items, there must be a good reason for their availability. This
perception can lead to a decrease in purchase intent or a preference for other
products that appear to be more in demand. This same concept can be used to
explain the societal misconception about singleness, which suggests that not
being married equates to a form of inferiority. However, it's important to
recognize that this assumption is unfounded and does not define one's worth. To
address and challenge these harmful beliefs, it's essential to empower oneself
by developing self-confidence, self-esteem outside of relationships, and
self-acceptance.
To overcome this challenge,
Explore your passions, interests, and talents, and build a solid
foundation for your self-identity.
Set personal goals and work toward them.
Focus on self-development and personal growth.
Engage in activities that enhance your physical and mental health.
Challenge negative stereotypes associated with spinsterhood.
Highlight the vibrant and fulfilling aspects of your life.
Share stories of achievement, personal growth, and happiness to
inspire others and reshape societal perspectives. Remember that your value and
worth are not tied to your relationship status; you are perfect and wonderful
just the way you are.
Challenge 3: The Need for Excellence and Exploitation
In the world of spinsterhood, there is often a deep-seated
tendency to exceed expectations in personal and professional endeavors. This
desire can be traced back to the prevailing societal belief that not marrying
is a sign of incompetence or deficiency, which drives individuals to compensate
by constantly seeking approval and acceptance. Unfortunately, this tendency to
strive for superior achievement can leave individuals vulnerable to
exploitation, not only in the workplace but also in personal relationships. The
pursuit of admiration and approval can lead to excessive workload, the neglect
of personal boundaries, and the sacrifice of one's well-being. These actions
unwittingly make individuals vulnerable to manipulation, as colleagues, bosses,
and even potential partners take advantage of their eagerness to please others.
To overcome this challenge:
- Take a cautious approach to vulnerability
Be wise when sharing personal vulnerabilities
Not everyone's intentions may be good.
- Set and enforce clear boundaries
Define clear personal and professional boundaries to prevent
excessive demands and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
- Practice the art of saying "no"
Learn to decline tasks or requests that are beyond your capacity
or that threaten your personal safety.
- Assert yourself when necessary
Recognize instances of exploitation and have the strength to
express concerns or objections without fear of retaliation.
- Cut off toxic relationships
It's essential to recognize when a relationship or friendship is
becoming detrimental to your well-being. Cut off ties with those who bring
negativity into your life or diminish your accomplishments.
Challenge 4: Loneliness
The experience of emptiness and loneliness can be particularly
impactful for single women. The absence of a romantic partner or a meaningful
relationship can trigger deep feelings of isolation and longing. However, there
are ways to overcome these feelings. Consider the following strategies:
- Build a fulfilling social life
Seek opportunities to connect with like-minded people through
social clubs, interest groups, or volunteer work.
-Prioritize Self-Care
Invest your time and energy in activities that nourish the self
and promote mental health. Pursue hobbies, practice mindfulness or meditation,
and prioritize self-care routines.
-Focus on Gratitude
Change your perspective by consciously acknowledging and
appreciating the positive aspects of your life. Gratitude can help balance
feelings of emptiness and cultivate a greater sense of contentment.
-Seek Therapy or Professional Counseling
If feelings of emptiness and loneliness persist, consider seeking
support from a trained therapist or counselor who can provide guidance and help
you manage your emotions effectively.
2- The community Solutions
Spreading the Culture of Marriage and its Importance
To provide for many of the innate needs of a healthy soul in a
healthy manner consistent with religious and moral values and sound customs.
Here's a link: The Importance of Marriage for the Individual and
Society
Strengthening the family and social network
This factor appears to be particularly effective in large cities,
where isolation and shrinkage prevail, and family and social relationships are
limited or weakened. This makes dating difficult and leaves many girls living
in the shadows and forgotten. These communities include mosques, religious
councils, social clubs, family trips, Hajj and Umrah, and other activities.
Going Beyond Formal Requirements
Many girls spend years waiting for the prince of their dreams, a
specific image of whom they have envisioned. Life goes on, and the prince of
their dreams stumbles into the home of the intended couple because he didn't
originally meet those specifications, which cannot be found in one person. It
is important for a girl to maintain the necessary conditions that will ensure
her safety with a loving, responsible husband capable of providing the
necessary protection.
Don't Let Education Be an Obstacle
Many women in some Arab countries are keen to complete their higher
education before considering marriage. Sometimes, a guardian is an obstacle to
this. Life may pass without a husband who matches her educational level. It is
important for an educated woman to be convinced that marriage and education are
not mutually exclusive, and that she can move forward with the marriage project
with someone with whom she agrees on the broad outlines of this relationship.
Online Social Media
Online social networking sites that adhere to Sharia and ethical
standards, and whose administrators are extremely vigilant against corrupt and
malicious individuals, there is nothing wrong with subscribing to and
benefiting from them.
Postponing the idea of having children
In the early years of completing your studies, agree on this in
advance.
The large Families Fund
For social solidarity to eliminate spinsterhood: This includes
providing funds from large families to facilitate the marriage process for
family members and assisting those unable to marry.
Religious leaders should determine the number of girls of marriageable
age in their neighborhood
through their guardians - and what desires they want to fulfill in
a husband. The person responsible for this should be someone whose faith and
knowledge are trusted, and who is committed to maintaining the complete confidentiality
of this information. The religious leader in charge of the initiative should
have insight into men's faces, enabling them to distinguish a serious man from
a playful one from the first time they meet him.
Establishing a "Marriage Fund"
Establishing a marriage fund similar to what the United Arab
Emirates, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia have done. This fund is contributed to by
businessmen and those who wish to do good and protect social peace. It is
intended to provide reasonable loans to those seeking marriage, payable in
installments over many years and afforded by the young man and woman. The state
and individuals support this fund on an ongoing basis, allowing it to benefit
those who lack the financial resources to do so. This fund enables them to finance
their homes, not just the wedding ceremony.
Special marriage offices and associations.
This could be a recognized social association or a special
department within charitable organizations, such as the Tawfiq Committee: an
alternative to a matchmaker. It would be preferable if this committee
cooperated with the Civil Registry to list unmarried couples in the
neighborhood, or even the city if it is divided into different sections, such
as in Egypt (Bab Hay Sharq - Bab Gharb, etc.). As is the case with some
well-known offices, the mediator acts between the suitor and the fiancée's
guardian, earning a reward for this work in addition to the reward they will
receive in the afterlife—God willing. This office must have a strong
relationship with charitable projects in terms of organization and follow-up.
Establishing offices and associations for reconciliation between two people
through lawful means, under the supervision of religious scholars and family
affairs experts, has become an urgent necessity in light of the high rates of
spinsterhood in our society. An official body must be established to champion
this endeavor, officially licensed by government agencies, and supported by the
Council of Senior Scholars and some of our esteemed sheikhs. Only those with
knowledge and integrity should work in this field, and it is recommended that
only married couples should be allowed to work in this field.
Standing Up Against Greedy Parents
Some parents prevent their daughters from marrying because they
are employed and bring in a monthly income. Some, if they see great beauty and
good morals in their daughters, turn away low-income suitors in the hope that
wealthy or prestigious individuals will approach her and bargain with them.
Although this type of marriage is rare in society, it does exist, and we cannot
ignore that it is one of the reasons for the spread of this phenomenon.
Organizing mass weddings
For those with limited income, this is a way to solve the problem
of delaying the age of marriage for men and women and encouraging others who
lack the means to start a family.
Agreeing with school principals and their deputies
With the great efforts to marry female teachers and employees, in
cooperation with mosque imams and those concerned with marriage issues, it is
imperative to be aware of the importance of this work and to ensure that it is
carried out in a confidential manner. Some have considered it a means of
contributing to solving the serious problem of spinsterhood in society.
Solving the Housing Problem
This is a duty of the state, more than of individuals, by solving
the unemployment problem in general, as well as solving the housing crisis by
providing the necessary housing at a low cost, such as adopting innovative and
affordable ideas for traditional homes. Such as trucks that can be transformed
into beautiful homes or other modern, innovative, and inexpensive architectural
ideas, such as studio homes or houses made from puzzle pieces.
Providing affordable loans
Governments must launch campaigns to encourage young people to
marry by providing them with affordable loans and job opportunities to help
them move forward with their marriage plans.
Providing job opportunities for unemployed youth
Unemployed, unmarried men live in a state of instability (often
compared to unstable, spinster girls). This leads to widespread instability in
society as a whole, resulting in many manifestations of extremism or deviance.
3- The Islamic Solutions
1- Marrying
A widow (a widow): (a person without a husband/wife, even if
previously married)
God Almighty says:
وَأَنكِحُوا الأَيَامَى مِنْكُمْ
وَالصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِكُمْ وَإِمَائِكُمْ إِنْ يَكُونُوا فُقَرَاءَ
يُغْنِهِمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ [النور:32]
And marry the unmarried among you and the righteous among your
male slaves, male and female. If they should be poor, Allah will enrich them
from His bounty. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing. [An-Nur: 32]
Ayam
A single person, whether male or female, married before or
unmarried.
A widow (a widow) who has become a widow after the death of her
husband.
A single person, whether male or female, who has previously been
married or has never been married.
A widower, male or female, who has become a widow after the death
of her husband.
In Imam Ibn Baz's explanation of this verse,
A Muslim is a brother to a Muslim. He helps him marry, helps him
maintain his chastity, and helps his sister in God maintain her chastity. This
is a case of cooperation in righteousness and piety, and of the verse,
"And cooperate in righteousness and piety." [Al-Ma'idah: 2], so they
commanded the marriage of male and female servants, meaning: the male servants
of God and the female servants of God, because they are their brothers in God,
or their sons, or their brothers by blood, or their uncles, or their brothers'
sons. They advised them to marry them and help them. Because they are brothers
among themselves, even if they are not his children, nor his brothers, Islam
unites them, and religion unites them, so they are brothers in God I. For this
reason they were commanded to cooperate in righteousness and piety. He said:
“And cooperate in righteousness and piety” [Al-Ma’idah: 2]. A Muslim is a
brother of a Muslim. He does not wrong him or look down on him. The hadith
says, “Whoever is concerned with the need of his brother, God will be concerned
with his need.” Agreed upon says, “And God is with the servant as long as the
servant is with his brother.”
A Look at the Holy Verse
The phrase "marry"
It appears in the imperative form, not as a recommendation. Who is
meant by this command? Guardians of girls and boys, as well as religious
leaders in society, all the way to the guardian of Muslims in a given country.
The single among you and the righteous
1. God Almighty distinguished between the single and the righteous
in a subtle gesture: that you should not only marry the righteous, and that is,
those you seek to marry, but rather marry everyone you can marry, as a general
interest of society, not for the private interest of a segment of society that
operates within society, called the religious society, and is intellectually
and socially separate from the rest of society. It is well-known in religious
circles that married people do not interact with single men and women,
especially women. In psychology, it is also said to you: Surround your marriage
with a group of good, cohesive relationships, as this is more conducive to the
cohesion of your marriage.
2. God Almighty did not mention the term "spinster,"
which is specific to women. Rather, He called every single person, whether male
or female, "unmarried." This is an indication from the Lord of the
Worlds that He has designated a ruling for single men and women equally,
whether he or she has previously been married, of course, or neither of them
has ever been married.
Of your male and female servants
Not all of us are servants of God. Servants are more often used to
refer to the righteous, as in the Almighty's saying: "And the servants of
the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily." It differs
from slaves, as in the Almighty's saying: "And your Lord is not unjust to
His servants." We are all slaves of God (slaves of power and might), but
few of us ascend to the attribute of servants of the Most Merciful.
As for female slaves
please do yourself a favor by Re - reading this blog about slaves.
At the end of the twenty-first century, they have returned to unprecedented
numbers. Their numbers, as far as we can tell, have reached 10 or 12 million
people worldwide, most of whom are Muslims, and most of whom are women and
children, whose religious identity may change once they are sold. Among the
Islamic solutions for slaves (about 21 solutions) is marrying them to free them
from slavery.

If they are poor, God will enrich them from His bounty
Events and history throughout history have demonstrated that the
poor of yesterday are rich today, and circumstances change for their people as
long as they remain pious to God Almighty.
Marriage in Arab societies remains "the only socially and
religiously acceptable context for sexuality and raising children."
Mulla Ali al-Qari said:
"Because if you do not marry women except to someone with
wealth or influence, most of your women may remain without husbands, and most
of your men may remain without women. This will increase temptation to
fornication, and shame may befall guardians, leading to discord and corruption.
This will result in the severing of family ties and a decline in righteousness
and chastity."
Our Master Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may God be pleased with him) said:
"If I had only ten days left to live, and I knew that I would
die after that, and I could marry (within those ten days), I would marry, lest
I expose myself to corruption."
3- Hastening the marriage of a girl if a suitable match is found.
Regarding preventing a girl from marrying her, it is stated:
"Marrying her to a suitable match is a crime against three people."
1- The guardian commits a crime against himself by disobeying God
and His Messenger.
2- A crime against the woman by preventing her from marrying a
suitable match whom she is satisfied with.
3- A crime against the suitor by denying him a right that the
Lawgiver has commanded him to grant.
He warned against preventing a girl from marrying her and delaying
her marriage to a suitable man. Ali reported that the Prophet (peace and
blessings be upon him) said to him: "There are three things that should
not be delayed: the prayer when it is due, the funeral when it arrives, and the
un- married if a suitable match is found for her."
3- Offering a Daughter in Marriage to a Suitable Match
Salih Madyan offered his daughter to the righteous man of the
Children of Israel (Moses, peace be upon him). Umar ibn al-Khattab offered his
daughter Hafsa to Abu Bakr and Uthman. A woman offered herself to the Prophet,
peace and blessings be upon him. It is a good thing for a man to offer his
guardianship, and for a woman to offer herself to a righteous man, following
the example of the righteous predecessors.
4- Facilitating the dowries
Ibn Abi Wada'ah said, "I was sitting with Sa'id ibn
al-Musayyab, and he missed me for a few days. When I came back, he said, 'Where
have you been?' I said, 'My wife died, and I was busy with her.' He said, 'Why
didn't you tell us?' So we could attend." Then I wanted to get up, but he
said, 'Have you married a new wife?' I said, 'May God have mercy on you, who
will marry me? I only own two or three dirhams.' He said, 'I will.' I said,
'Will you do that?'" Yes, then he praised God and sent blessings upon the Prophet
(peace and blessings be upon him), and married me for two or three dirhams.
We don't say two dirhams and a quarter dirham or the like, as the
times are different. However, the dowry of a woman of her peers is appropriate,
unless she or her guardian voluntarily waives part of the dowry to make things
easier for the suitor, facilitate her recovery, and expedite her marriage.

5- youth Initiative to Marry
Islam urges all young people who are able to afford marriage
(dowry and maintenance) to initiate it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be
upon him) recommended this. Abdullah ibn Mas'ud said: The Messenger of Allah
(peace and blessings be upon him) said to us: "O young people, whoever
among you can afford marriage, let him get married, for it is more effective in
lowering the gaze and guarding one's chastity." Allah, the Blessed and
Exalted, has pledged to assist young people who intend to marry. Abu Hurairah
(may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and
blessings be upon him) said: "Three are entitled to Allah's assistance:
the one who strives in the cause of Allah, the one who is in a contract of
marriage who wants to pay off his debt, and the one who marries to remain
chaste."
5- That married couples take the initiative to marry more than one
wife.
Islam has permitted this with its own restrictions and conditions.
God Almighty says: {Then marry such women as seem good to you, two, three, or
four.} [An-Nisa': 3]. Ibn Sa'di said: "That is, whoever wishes to take two
wives, let him do so, or three, or four, let him do so, but he should not
exceed them. This is because the verse was cited to express gratitude, and it
is not permissible to exceed what God Almighty has specified, by consensus."

6- The media should fulfill its intended role
and serve as a tool to encourage young men and women to marry.
Here are some tips:
1- Writing scripts for TV series and films based on psychology,
such as (the importance of marriage to society as a whole and to individuals,
and that disintegrated societies are more vulnerable to external interference)

individual and society as a whole from a psychological perspective, please

In conclusion
it is said that if you lean on one of the truly beautiful and
distinctive things in your life, it is fraught with danger. Why? A beautiful
woman who relies on her beauty, her appearance could change due to just a small
part of anemia. A woman who relies on her strong personality, societal
expectations sometimes outweigh her courage. A woman who relies on the quality
of her education and work: if she lost her job for any reason, she would feel
vulnerable, and so on... So what is the solution? Cultivate in your personality
the things and things you are passionate about. Sometimes it's education,
sometimes it's focusing on your beauty, sometimes it's increasing your morals
and religion. Here, take courses and there, and fill your free time completely.
As the proverb goes, "At work, a person forgets himself and forgets to
search for happiness, and that is the very essence of happiness."
An Important Note: Why Did Lady Aisha Not Marry After the Death of
the Messenger of God?
The answer is clear, as the Qur'an says:
{مَا كَانَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْذُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلاَ تَنْكِحُوا
أَزْوَاجَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ أَبَدًا إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَكَانَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَظِيمًا}
[سورة الأحزاب: ٥٣]
"It is not for you to harm the Messenger of God, nor to marry
his wives after him, ever. Indeed, that would be in the sight of God, an
enormity." [Surat al-Ahzab: 53]
Is there another reason?
Yes: to gain knowledge. There is a hadith, although its chain of
transmission is weak, which we can use as a basis for this context.
The hadith: "Take half of your religion from this red-skinned
woman."
Imam Al-Shawkani said about it in (Al-Fawa’id Al-Majmu’ah fi
Al-Ahadith Al-Da’ifah wa Al-Mawdu’ah): The hadith “Take half of your religion
from Al-Humayra’.” Ibn Hajar said: I do not know of any chain of transmission
for it, nor have I seen it in any of the books of hadith! Except in Nihayat Ibn
Al-Athir, and except in Al-Firdaws without a chain of transmission. Al-Mizzi
and Al-Dhahabi were asked about it, but they did not know it. This is also in
Al-Maqasid.
The evidence for citing this hadith
1 - You are aware that Lady Aisha, may God bless him and grant him
peace, died when she was 18 years old.
The Mother of the Believers, Aisha, may God be pleased with her,
was 18 years old when the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, died.
In Sahih Muslim, on the authority of Urwa, on the authority of Aisha, may God
be pleased with her, the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace,
married her when she was seven years old, and she was brought to him when she
was nine years old. He played with her, and he died when she was eighteen years
old.
This means that
she lived for 18 years until her death, may God be pleased with
her, at the age of sixty-four (64). You know that she did not have children.
This means that she lived forty-six years after the death of the Messenger of
God, may God bless him and grant him peace. So, what did she do during this
time? She devoted herself to knowledge and taught Muslims their religion. She
was the closest to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace,
and she devoted herself to him, having no children. This is a comfort to every
woman who has not married, is divorced, or is widowed, to engage in knowledge.
There are two things that cover every flaw or shortcoming: knowledge and
generosity.
O God, marry young men and women to righteous husbands/girls who
will be a source of their happiness and a reason for their closeness to You.
You are the Guardian of that and the One who is able to do it.
O God, increase our knowledge and benefit us with what You have
taught us.
