Marriage and destiny
Question
I have a question that confuses me often. I have read in the Islamic books that women is created from the left rib of the men and therefore matches are made before a person comes to this world. This means that each man and woman on earth has a match. Then what about the man who never gets married or women who never gets married when they have their match in the world. And if a person does not get married, what about his/her destined match? Does his match also does not get married? And those who pass away as a bachelor, does his women never gets married, as a person only gets married to those with whom they are destined to be with.
Answer
When they were not destined to marry then they will not marry.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
