Marrying someone with children
Question
I am a 28 year old divorced Muslimah with no kids. I recently met someone who is keen on making nikaah. He has 2 boys, 11 and 6. I am willing to accept them as my own and mould them into pious young Muslims in sha allah. There is something that I am scared about though. I'm scared of when they decide to become rebellious towards me. How do I react? Will it affect my relationship with my spouse?
Answer
If you are scared and he does not give you any type of security and assurance, then you rather don't get into this marriage.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
