Who will an unmarried woman marry in Jannah?
Question
If a woman passes away unmarried from this world, whom will she marry in jannah:
1. Will she be able to marry any married man in jannah?
2. Will she be able to marry any man who was not her kufu in this world?
Answer
She will be granted a choice to marry any man of the world she wishes. If she does not choose to marry any man of the world, then Allah Ta'ala will create a person from the people of Jannah who will marry her.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
