Is it necessary for women to get married?
In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.
Answer
The ruling on marrying is split up into the following categories:
| Obligatory (Farz): This is when an individual has an overwhelming level of sexual desire in a way that he/she is certain of committing adultery. | |
| Necessary (Wajib): This is when an individual has such sexual desires in a way that one fears committing adultery or cannot prevent himself from masturbation. | |
| Sunnat Muakkadah: This is for an individual who is in a moderate state. His sexual desires are not overwhelming like in the above two situations. | |
| Severely Disliked (Makruh Tahrimi): This is for an individual who fears being unjust or oppressive to the spouse, even if there is a strong urge of sexual desires. | |
| Unlawful (Haraam): This is when one is certain of being unjust and unfair to his wife. (Raddul Muhtar p.63-67 v.4 |
In regards to your question, if the girl’s situation is of the first two categories it will be necessary for her to get married.
Only Allah Knows Best.
